Like not risking his lifelyhood to fight US and EU sanctions against a genocidal regime?

Exactly. He obviously isn't the one pushing for this, because if he was, he would've done it when the war started (or even before). That said, as a Finn, he doesn't have any reason to stand up for Russians, so when legal push comes to shove, there's not a good argument for him pushing back.

I agree with the person you're replying to in the sense that Linus's decision is OK, but the delivery could be less "idiotic". This could be a different message entirely. Even a cold "Yes we have some things happening. Can't tell more for now" would've been fine.

I'm Finnish. Did you think I'd be supporting Russian aggression?

Where did that come from? Sir this is a kernel mailing list. Why the nationality chest beating? I'm Polish and I have a smirk all day on November 4 but it's just so childish from Linus.

You can look at the thread. The initial one got a lot of replies from a "Vladimir Putin" saying "You should kill yourself NOW!". The Git commit is even worse, with the a lot of insults. Not what usually happens on that kind of places, not that they are always kind and lovely.
