From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I think it's a big flaw of the mailing list system of the kernel development. Marcan's reaction led to everyone trying to "protect the thread" from being "derailed" and ignore the actual comments that in themselves should've been discussed properly.
Even leads to people here saying Marcan overreacted when I think on other social media platforms this would've been its own conversation separate to the conduct of other users.
I say this purely speculatively since I havent ever held a longrunning group convo in a mailing list intentionally.
