Why is everybody so concerned about Linus being who he is? Every month there's yet another article about 'rude open source developers'. I thought we were hackers and not conformists. I could care less what Linus says it's his kernel, his project, his life, his personality. Linux is not a job, it has no sensitivity training or rules of social conduct. If you don't like it don't volunteer.

Nothing stopping you from forking the kernel, developing it yourself and calling it Sensetivlix: The GNUspeak conformity project.
