Well, the one that comes to mind is Alan Cox and the TTY driver in
2009.
And I still have to agree with his point about Linus's more absolute
pronouncements on user-space regressions: taken literally, they mean
that breaking rootkits is not okay.
Here's the thread if anyonw would like to judge "who started it":

That said, I strongly agree with this point:
