This patch is one such instance where we find ourselves questioning the legitimacy and indeed, the feasibility, of an international, open, and open source project. Vagueness breeds distrust. It's not difficult to deduce what the "various compliance requirements" are and I'm sure Greg is aware of this. The Linux Foundation, if interested in continuing their governance role over the Linux kernel, should be ready to explain themselves over this decision. Greg and Linus, I'm not sure if I'm ready to believe that this is supposed to be a political show - but if this is the case, please leave the ground for the Foundation - they should be the one responsible and receiving the scrutiny (or insult, as I'm sure many - myself included - find this patch insulting). So I repeat - call the decision-makers out and ask for their explanation. Best Regards, Mingcong Bai
