On kernel mailing list behavior

Sure - and both sides apologized in the end. Rafael apologized for his "but it's a fix" explanation (which is quite obviously is not a justification for regressions) and Linus apologized for his rant.

But Linus reacted on the facts he had at the time and it surely looked to him like a totally crazy idea: we don't tolerate regressions is pretty well-established rule of kernel development and only few very serious things can affect it. "But there is ready-to-use-exploit in the wild" may qualify while "but it's a fix" does not - and Rafael should know that, he's not a newbie at this point!
