I think the op was trying to highlight this nugget in one of the thread emails[0]:

>And now, I just got an email from Linus saying "we're now talking about git rm -rf in 6.18", after previously saying we just needed a go-between.

Edit to add that LWN noted this at the end of the "The rest of the 6.17 merge window" post[1].

Mr Torvalds has already said “we’re done”.

And Mr Overstreet’s behavior is still unprofessional.

I think this thread is really insightful to teach highly skilled individuals that people skills are as important as technical proficiency.

I have been this arrogant and abrasive dev. It’s bad and learning how to behave, mainly through parenting, was a net positive for my career.

People, please read and learn from this thread.

Is this a joke? Linus literally, and routinely, refers to other people's work as "garbage."
