Don't call it a meltdown for goodness' sake. Linus only gives this treatment to the prima donnas at his level to keep them in place. It may sound impolite to say so, but some of them act as if they're God's gift to Earth.
Linus is doing what he needs to do to keep everyone in their place. Some of these programmers don't like taking no for an answer. I've been that guy before. I've been a real butthead to people with my code. So I respect what Linus is doing. Because I had it coming, and so did the recipient of this rant.
