Few posts later, what might be the crux of the matter (first four paragraphs): http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=137391223711946&w=2 http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=137391223711946&w=2 Linus really has only a few tools at hand to restrict otherwise almost unlimited access he is providing. Instead of usual secretaries filtering and rationing access, he has to be blunt whenever he encounters inconsiderate time wasting. Like he said previously, occasional swearing shortens the e-mail queue. If Linus resorted to hand holding he would never get anything else done, because there is virtually endless demand for it.
