I agree that is a very balanced assessment of the situation.

My point is that the Linux kernel community is moving away from the bad boyz club, and people are not noticing. Lennart's experience is more of an exception than the rule. But that is due to past behaviors from him and Kay with their lack of willingness to listen to us when we brought up problems with their code.

If you read LKML on a regular basis, it is getting harder to find personal attacks. That's a good thing. Yeah, there's some old timers that still have their grumpy moments and when that's Linus, it makes the news. But those that actually try to join the community today, will have a much better experience than if they were to have when I joined.
