- varajelle 6y agoI think the kernel maintainer reverted all the patches coming from that university, regardless if they were bogus or not.

The "hypocrite commits", according to the researchers' own paper, originated from "random Gmail addresses", and the researchers continue to claim none of those got merged (though since they haven't told us what they were, ...) The additional claim is that some of the commits not covered by their "hypocrite commits" (and thus, submitted from their UMN addresses) contained security bugs, deliberate or not, and the loss of trust in the researchers is sufficient to justify reverting all of their commits until they can be reviewed.
