Here's the scolding Linus SHOULD have given Hellwig MONTHS ago.

I said it before and I'll say it again. Martin was wrong, and got treated fairly. He threw tantrums and stirred drama instead of acting like a maintainer.

But. That didn't make Hellwig right. He wasn't right. He was way out of line and over his skis, being hostile for hostilities sake.

Unfortunately many rust programmers already have a sour taste in their mouth regarding Linux development, which is a huge loss for the progress of the project.

Nice article. And nice pep talk from Greg KH, I think he nailed it. I mean some team spirit is required if Linux wants progress.

I was wrong. "Find" didn't find it.
