So, is Linus pretty much the same guy? I know he took some time off and the kernel team adopted a code-o-conduct, and had that introspective e-mail ... but now that he's back ... is it any different?
Because he didn't attack any individual, use derogatory language, or break the code of conduct?
He never agreed to roll over and agree with every technological persuasion, he agreed to be nicer to people. This was nice to people, but rude to a technology (ZFS), that seems consistent.
