You might have hit the nail on the head here.
The belgian king once resigned for a single day so the parliament could pass a law on abortion.
Could Linus have pulled of a similiar stunt?

- joshuamorton 8y agoI find it unlikely. It came up on the lkml that Linus requested changes to the CoC, and Greg was just the person who ended up managing the changes. If you mean that Linus didn't want the flak for the changes, then that seems like weak leadership on his part, and since iiuc Greg is likely to take over kernel management when Linus ever retires, passing the controversial work to his eventual replacement is bad tactics as well, since it'll undermine Greg's authority in some people's eyes if he takes over.
