Linus comment on the subject is the corn in the shit:

"Ok, lots of Russian trolls out and about.

It's entirely clear why the change was done, it's not getting reverted, and using multiple random anonymous accounts to try to "grass root" it by Russian troll factories isn't going to change anything.

And FYI for the actual innocent bystanders who aren't troll farm accounts - the "various compliance requirements" are not just a US thing.

If you haven't heard of Russian sanctions yet, you should try to read the news some day. And by "news", I don't mean Russian state-sponsored spam.

As to sending me a revert patch - please use whatever mush you call brains. I'm Finnish. Did you think I'd be supporting Russian aggression? Apparently it's not just lack of real news, it's lack of history knowledge too."

Linus Torvalds Comments On The Russian Linux Maintainers Being Delisted

What was the big crime of this maintainers? Being from Russia.

Meanwhile, Torvalds and the Linux Foundation are madly boot-licking and cock-sucking the Mossad and the IDF.

Exactly, and even if he booted them from the maintainers list, why does he revert the code changes as well? ON WHAT BASIS!?
