Linus has a handful of points he doesn't want to compromise on: "breaking user space", "machine-killing", "using C++ in kernel", "writing poor code", ... Around the world, there are many people who disagree and try to push patches that violate these principles. I think he exagerates his reactions to remind people about these principles.
