I have complained about Linus's behavior before many times, on here and elsewhere - it's in my comment history. I am extremely pleased to see Linus owning up to his behavior. In a weird way, given that I have no personal connection to him whatsoever, I'm proud of him. I hope he makes good on his word as laid out here, I hope he takes the time he needs and gets some good help, and I hope this sets a strong positive precedent for Linux and the greater open source community going forward. This can't have been an easy choice to make, and I respect him for making it.
