The social tactic could have been changed from "we will revert all recent patches originating from UMN" to "we are forced to review all recent patches originating from UMN, and to enforce stricter scrutiny of UMN patches going forward." Second is more honest and also applies social pressure.

- raegis 5y agoThat sounds like a good first warning. But they persisted even after Greg KH complained to UMN and told them to stop. A more severe punishment for a second offense is needed, IMO.
