Not sure why all these submissions are dead - vouched for this one (as it had a comment at least). Even though we see only 1 side of the story, I find it very important that it is definitely a sign of very big changes in the kernel-governance (which have been brewing since a couple of years).

(Offtopic note: title is editorialized unfortunately, but still important)

We only have the point of view of becachefs main developer here of course, but some things regarding some kernel developer and the CoC committee seem to be really concerning.
