> Best not to make it personal from the peanut gallery.

That's a very uncharitable interpretation of your parent comment, which was simply pointing out his connection and history with Intel.

Are you sure it is not you that has made the uncharitable interpretation?

I read the peanut gallery comment as an agreement that the guy knows what he’s talking about.

FWIW - I took it as a somewhat rude reply but hey it’s the internet so no big deal.

I did not, and do not lay any blame, I only provided context to the prior comment.

So the person supposedly single-handedly working on this fix doesn't even work for Intel? That strikes me as... Odd?

Where did you got single-handedly from? Of course multiple people cooperate on those patches. That is it was possible for Linus Torwalds to join their discussion, it would all be much less public if only one institution or person worked on it.
