@LaF0rge This is exactly how I feel too, plus honestly, Linus’s response was a real letdown since I've always seen him as a bit of a role model.

Just to be clear, I'm not strongly against the removal itself, I get that it’s important to protect developers and the infrastructure from legal headaches. But it’s the way it was handled that bothers me, and I know I’m not the only one who feels this way.

Within my own circle, this whole thing has left the Linux Kernel's reputation pretty dented, which I hate to see. That’s why I've been so vocal, whether it’s commenting on the original patch [1], replying to Serge’s farewell letter [2], or even starting another thread that, yes, stirred up a bit of a heated debate [3]. I was just hoping something positive might come out of it to help fix the damage. Some people have painted me as a troublemaker, which wasn’t the aim at all, but I really do appreciate everyone who’s backed me, both on and off the list.

Tytso on governance:

'"Ultimately, though, governance model that we've used since the founding of the Benevolent Dictator model. […]

Ultmately, though, the reason why Linus continues to serve as the leader of the Linux is that there is a very large number of people that respect his judgement and technical acumen.[…]

Everything else follows from this. […]

[…] the Code of Conduct committee has no inherent power to sanction developers, other […]"'

@monsieuricon Any idea what's the purpose of maintainers@linux.kernel.org list? I've been subscribed automatically but have no idea about what's it for. ❔

I finally released b4-0.14.0 with some neat features. Read the announcement for details:

Why am I even making a visualizer?

Modern SoCs are very complex. This tree here from an Allwinner D1 is simple in comparison with just above 100 nodes.
Most of those are for peripherals.
Some are clocks, power supplies and interrupts.

A StarFive JH7110 tree is more than 200 nodes already.

Note that both are from WIP Linux upstreaming offers and do not even fully represent the hardware yet.

Hey @monsieuricon, was cleaning my browser favourites and found http://kernel.social now points to http://Masto.host's 404 page. Perhaps take it down or redirect it to http://social.kernel.org can prevent some confusion?
