▲ 309 ▼ Linus sets his foot down, against the gatekeeping attempts in the kernel (lore.kernel.org) submitted 1 year ago* by snaggen@programming.dev to c/rust@programming.dev 40 comments fedilink hide all child comments So let me be very clear: if you as a maintainer feel that you control who or what can use your code, YOU ARE WRONG.
[–] NanoooK@sh.itjust.works 104 points 1 year ago (2 children) Good on Linus, that's a very fair answer. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] RavuAlHemio@lemmy.world 65 points 1 year ago (1 child) Yeah… I kinda wish he had provided it before all those devs quit, though. Of course, he might have kept silent as a test to see if the project can remain healthy without his active stewardship, which makes sense for such a large and important project. I’m sure he’s unimpressed by the result. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] rowanthorpe@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 year ago (1 child) Yeah, maybe just a good steward quality-testing the Bus Factors? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] robinm@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago (1 child) The issue I see is that Greg did spoke in a way that would not undermind Linux leadership. If Linux was out, I'm sure Greg would have said stuff publicly much earlier. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] rowanthorpe@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago That makes sense too. I guess it's a very difficult balance to hit, for all concerned. I think a lot of the famous outbursts that happen on LKML are probably an inevitable side-effect of that balancing-act, and of maintainers being stretched in multiple directions. permalink fedilink source parent [+] Ledivin@lemmy.world -12 points 1 year ago Too little, too late.
