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.

    What would you suggest otherwise? Throwing up our hands and saying "this is too hard, we're closing down ${PROJECT}" or "screw you guys, I'm going home!"?

    How about, "Fuck this open source free software horse shit. I'll just use the proprietary analog and you can stick your little project and your political bullshit up your ass."

    That addresses your involvement. Do you have any suggestions that are germane to the discussion, or are you just trolling?

          Now back under the bridge with you.

          Catch phrases and clichés can't make for the fact that you've actually

          answered my question.

          Thanks.
