    Ok, lots of Russian trolls out and about.

    It’s entirely clear why the change was done, it’s not getting reverted, and using multiple random anonymous accounts to try to “grass root” it by Russian troll factories isn’t going to change anything.

    And FYI for the actual innocent bystanders who aren’t troll farm accounts - the “various compliance requirements” are not just a US thing.

    If you haven’t heard of Russian sanctions yet, you should try to read the news some day. And by “news”, I don’t mean Russian state-sponsored spam.

    As to sending me a revert patch - please use whatever mush you call brains. I’m Finnish. Did you think I’d be *supporting* Russian aggression? Apparently it’s not just lack of real news, it’s lack of history knowledge too.

      No clue how all this shakes out. Not real invested in this ideological/bureaucratic slap fight.

      It’s always entertaining when Linus flames off.

      Given how used I am to every statement by a politician or business being this slick, polished, carefully re-drafted beige speech it’s a real contrast to see someone like Torvalds just blasting out their thoughts
