https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=216026 --- Comment #34 from Robert Dinse (nanook@xxxxxxxxxx) --- I'm all for honesty, not so much for brutality, but I do realize that many people who work with computers choose to do so because they're not so good with humans. That said, your position would be appropriate if Linux were still Linus's hobby project. The reality is that much of the real world computation depends upon it, the vast majority of super computers run Linux, Android phones run Linux, most of Googles, Amazons, and even Microsoft's services run Linux, so it has grown beyond hobby status. Self driving cars depend upon it, etc. In short, it is critical to the technological world and technology is critical to 8 billion people surviving on this ball we call Earth. So this requires a bit more professionalism than a hobby project. Isn't my intent to spam a mailing list, it is my intent to make the developers aware of a SERIOUS bug, and when a kernel can't be compiled with the most recent versions of EITHER compiler chains, that is serious, especially when you've End-of-Life'd the previous version which means they are not getting security fixes. I've been involved in some development projects myself, back in the days of 8-bit computers I even wrote a very specialized programming language, but I've never worked with a team of more than half a dozen individuals, so I can't even imagine what it is like for Linus to coordinate several thousand developers. That said, personality issues don't help, best to stick with technical issues, tackle them and move on. -- You may reply to this email to add a comment.
