Besides Marcan resignation, not much on other recent turmoils, or, more importantly in my view, the use of “Thin blue line” in the language of the anti-rust dev

As unfortunate as this whole episode has been, it is great to have this clarity from Linus. It feels like quite a straight-forward guideline to apply to future situations. Hopefully it will really cut down on the noise and drama between the pro-Rust and anti-Rust camps in the kernel.
As long as Linus stays consistent with the stance he outlined here, things should go well.
A bit late tho. This should have been his first reaction, as underlined in the article, rather than coming after losing Marcan and Herbst.
As a Asahi user I am a bit partial to this: the kernel has tons of corporate-backed devs on a stable payroll - Asahi is 100% volunteers, and this shit reminds us of the frailty of it all.
And of the human being behind:
