Linus Torvalds Shows His New Polite Side While Pointing Out Bad Kernel Code

It should be fairly easy to implement an online-translator from new-PC-Linus speak to old-non-PC-Linus speak - just detect detect some negative words (like "*not*"), then insert a few random profanities at the found positions.

Should be easy to measure an increase in unnecessary time wasting.

Surely we are now witnessing the beginning of the end of the Linux kernel as we know it. If Linus can't be allowed to say things like
"Guys, this is not a dick-sucking contest. ...If Red Hat wants to deep-throat Microsoft, that's *your* issue":
or
"I'd also suggest that whoever was the genius who thought it
was a good idea to read things ONE F*CKING BYTE AT A TIME with system
calls for each byte should be retroactively aborted. Who the f*ck does
idiotic things like that? How did they not die as babies, considering
that they were likely too stupid to find a tit to suck on?":
then I'm afraid that the quality of the Linux kernel will rapidly deteriorate.
At this point I believe the only thing that could save the kernel from a slow but certain death is if the community could somehow be persuaded to add the following section at the end of the CoC:
"EXCEPTION CLAUSE
Notwithstanding the rules given in the section "Our Standards" above, Linus Benedict Torvalds shall always be allowed to use the word "dick" alternatively "cock". Specifically he shall always be allowed to use expressions like "dick sucking contest" alternatively "cock sucking contest"."
As a consequence of the above change to the CoC it shall thereafter simply go by the name the CoCk.

Some have suggested, including Linus himself, it may be better off to let people blow off a little steam on an email board (which is better than in person, less threatening in proximity). Otherwise they bottle it up and it ends up being taken out through passive-aggressivism, backstabbing and so on, which is too common in workplaces. I think Linus is the kind of guy who needs to "clear his mind" by letting off a little steam sometimes and it may help him get back to focusing on the code rather than having it hang around in his consciousness. It could be the case that people that use colorful language may in fact be the least likely to try to do something worse like cause you to lose your job. In my experience it is often the most polite looking and soft spoken people who will do some of the worst things to one behind ones back.

This is becoming a bit predictable.
