That's irrelevant, nobody's talking about allowing or not allowing to participate, but accepting help while insulting the helpers, seems disgusting to me and I really find it weird that some people readily accept that while demanding respect and politeness in other situations. Double standards – that's what it is.
- Grollicus 8y agoI don't see him here "insulting the helpers". He's saying the argument for this change is bad, he's saying a bunch of things in the C standard are bad, but there's nothing personal there.
- ianbooker 8y agoThen you do not understand the whole point of asking this question. Its speculative whether the counterfactual "Linus is nice to everyone"-Kernel would be better or worse. Both options are possible. Like everywhere in capitalism, just being nice and doing the right thing must not always select you as a winner...
