    I have seen pictures of Linus Torvads so I feel that I am uniquely qualified to explain whats going on. Let me break it down for you.

    The Linux Kernel is meeting compliance requirements by removing Russian maintainers.

    Thank you all and have a good night.

      The problem is they aren’t even saying what those requirements are even after numerous inquiries about it.

      Don’t you think its wrong to ban someone only because of their nationality? I mean for real man. Every country in the world has done some fucked up shit but open source software is supposed to go beyond politics and ideologies.

      They weren’t doing anything malicious it was wrong to remove them.
