      Maybe I’m wrong, but as I read the article, Linus isn’t convinced this is a good idea either.
      I’m not saying things can never change, but opening for a mixed code base is a recipe for disaster.

        You’re wrong, but it’s possible the article gave you that impression. Read the mailing-list thread.

        It’s particularly worth reading Ted T’so’s contribution, which (considering his rude behaviour at the recent con led to a previous round of this nonsense) seems much more positive.
