kdbus

So did you see the fallout on the LKML?

http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1504.1/index.html#03936

SystemDisease developers try again to infect the kernel with their nasty kernel-dbus, and Linus and several other senior maintainers trash it for being a terrible, insecure layer of crap. SystemDisease developers just smiley-face (seriously) and try to act innocent, and claim that if people don't want it, they can just disable it in the kernel, that it won't become a hard dependency. Meanwhile, the same people over on their SystemDisease blogs state that as soon as it's in the kernel, it will become a hard dependency by SystemDisease and several other projects they control.

Senior maintainers discover this and call them out on their shenanigans. SystemDisease developers then claim Linux is full of mysognists and racists, trying to use identity politics to brow-beat Linus and friends into submission. Linus tells to fuck off and that he'll never accept any pull requests from them.

This reminds me a atheist organisation I knew. They used to say the worst things for christians yet when they wanted the christian's support on a reform they wanted to propose to the government they acted all innocent and happy.

who cares? check out my fibs

Did you actually read the thread? Linus hasn't told anyone to fuck off, yet, and the only personal attacks I've seen have been on news sites, not LKML.

Yes, the userspace people are being opaque and deflecting and the kernel folks are bikeshedding. In other news, the sky is blue and water is wet.

The bottom line is this the kdbus patch series is too big and will not get pulled for 4.1. The ball is in the dbus developers' court; it should be interesting to see what they do next. I am sure they are pretty frustrated at this point.
