so linus torvalds removed a bunch of russian maintainers from the kernel, he refused to elaborate and gave some vague statements about legal issues. naturally piggers are treating this as a peremoga and spamming the fuck out of tech forums. it's really funny seeing /k/editors who knows absolutely nothing about computers showing up on /g/ to celebrate this and just looking retarded in the process. the problem here is removing maintainers means absolutely nothing for the project. the only thing torvalds accomplished was mildly annoying some people and making himself look like a dumbass yet again. russia has their own codebase and a distro they use, alt linux, and even if they didn't forking the kernel is far from an impossible feat.  > but what if russia put like, backdoors and stuff in to the kernel??? anyone who suggests this simply does not know how the linux project works. any changes to the kernel are immediately detected, if russian were to put malicious code in that shit would get caught in a matter of hours.
