It's absolutely pathetic how everyone is being a little fragile bitch about Kent. Yes, he's a dickhead, abrasive and a 10x developer. So is Linus - his only saving grace over the years is being the founder, otherwise he'd been CoC'd long ago.
Bcachefs Changes Rejected Reportedly Due To CoC, Kernel Future "Uncertain"

The issue here is not kent being toxic, it's that COC is demanding a public appology, despite it already being worked out, start reading from here https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/vvulqfv...@7qj4gyaw2zfo/

let's them develop the kernel ok? I guess that we will not see any arguing anymore.

Nothing is perfect and there will always be issues, but in this case, it's the bcachefs author that makes the problem, not the other way around. His past (and continuing) behavior only shows it... The guy is so consumed by ego that's he's become blind to his own behavior and can't self-reflect.
the LKML has always been full of flames and words, and it has worked very well so far.
CoC is the issue here.
This is what is destroying the linux kernel and many other FOSS projects.

also, why should people associate the linux kernel with a lot of mentally ill chimps?
