Last week, Phoronix broke a story about the kernel DRM group over at FreeDesktop.org submitting a pull request for their code of conduct to be included in the kernel docs for the DRM subsystem. The next day it was merged.

I'm particularly interested in if they think this will keep Linus from saying hurtful things to them over lousy code. Discuss.

    Gnome, I'll give you. Nothing bad said about gnome made the slightest difference.

    But the negative feedback systemd received seems to have helped immensely in the documentation area. Its at least intelligible and coherent these days.

    Yeah, the tsunami of negative feedback about systemd was about the documentation.
    Pull my finger frojack!

      It's probably just a defensive reaction. They know system'd is "a disaster" like the White house would put it.. But at least it's a known how the junk works.

      Now we just need to find Poetternigg and nuke from orbit to be sure.

        Your projection of what you believe to what they "know" is pretty funny.

        While I approve of your methods, I disagree with the payload of your ordinance. A nuke isn't nearly enough to eradicate systemd and its originator from the solar system. I think you'd need some sort of discombobulator to obliterate a planet. Launching a firm of hive-mind lawyers against the targets might work too.
