He is right.
If you are part of the linux kernel team you know what you got yourself into (Linus)
and you are part of one of the highest profile opensource projects on this planet.
For are project like the kernel this is an appropriate response to eliminate errors.
If they f..up on the development, alot of server will break all over the planet and many
companies will get angry emails from people who have no clue why they cant upload pictures of their kitten.
The fact that you then try to make excuses for breaking user space,
and blaming some external program that used to work, is just
shameful. It's not how we work.
Most people would get some similiar response if you would do this on a clients project.
