It's a real shame that the drama led to so much real-world fallout.
Even though I feel pretty strongly that Christoph was in the wrong in this situation, it's impossible to deny that he is one of the most prolific and experienced kernel maintainers, so this is a real loss and not something to feel any schadenfreude about.
I hope all those stepping back can get some space to reflect and figure out a way to operate more productively going forwards.
