Linus has been the sergeant-major who has to yell at the troops sometimes, when they get sloppy. He's a brilliant software engineer & generally knows how to herd cats. The problem seems to have arisen when he arranged a family holiday which clashed with an important Linux conference & irritated a lot of important people in the corporate Linux world. He's 48 yo & beginning to age a bit & it's no threat to anyone if he's decided to take a break for a few kernel cycles. I did note in a msg to this list earlier this year (2018) that there had been no kernel stabilised by Gentoo since spring 2017, which suggested there had been some decline in kernel quality. As for New Yorker + their drama queen Ms Theythem, they're simply trying to cash in on the incident to promote themselves. The rest of us should concentrate on the real world + its many problems.
