I think the earlier message drives the points home in more familiar Linus style:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/11/17/767 https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/11/17/767
"Some security people have scoffed at me when I say that security problems are primarily "just bugs". Those security people are f*cking morons."
Gotta love the guy. :)
- smnrchrds 9y agoThe person at the other end of the conversation would disagree with this sentiment: "Thanks. Still, I'd prefer Linus yell at me than other folks trying to do similar work. If I can shield anyone from this abuse, then maybe they won't give up on kernel security development. Digging Linus's actionable feedback out of the ad-hominem attack can be challenging."

- rimliu 9y agoI am happy Linus shields Linux kernel from those golden-hearted individuals whose feel-good attitude would allow questionable solutions designed by committee to slip in.
