Well the article does state:

>At first I thought they were jokes or just snarky remarks, but after a day of following up with folks, it actually turns out not to be a joke.

So who's to say he didn't? Twitter seems just to be where he first heard it

I mean why is he following up with folks? It’s not like it’s extremely hard to get in touch with Poettering.

His redhat email returns out of office err OOF

From my observations, Poettering is not a person who kindly answers his e-mails.
