They were removed from the maintainer position of whatever they did. Bizarre enough.
For being employees of sanctioned companies...
Don't work for war criminals 🤷
Unless they are Israeli or American.
Damn. Cuts deep
No, refer to my first comment you dipshit.
I might have interpreted your first comment wrong. But I did not read the booted maintainers directly worked for their government.
Because they did not.
Did you watch the “collateral damage” video? Just wondering.
Not all Russians are war criminals. Neither are all US citizens.
Doesn't effect all Russians. Just 11 Russian maintainers that work for sanctioned Russian companies. Who can still contribute, they just can no longer make changes to the kernel with no approval/oversight.
All this noise because 11 drunk fuckers won't find a job at a company that doesn't mainline killing civilians.
What a weak reason to be upset.
