It’s a general remark on his communication style, but it’s also quite visible in this particular response. Somehow, most of emails from him I’ve seen were either passive aggressive, or outright very rude. He’s definitely not a person I would enjoy working with.

Is he the sort of person who is (usually) correct in his gut feel? Sometimes you can present something to me and I'll just hate it because it "feels wrong". That can be a real sixth sense.

That said, a simple "call BPF to ask user space what it thinks" shouldn't be ringing any alarm bells. Those people who don't want BPF scheduling don't install any BPF schedulers, those who do take responsibility for the resulting cock-ups ...

(And a general purpose distro should have no need for any BPF schedulers.)

Cheers,
