"Kernel maintainer steps down" - and here I thought the dude fiercely opposed to Rust, that dinosaur vowing to fight with all his might against... a project he wouldn't have a single line of code to maintain, ever, was the one to resign.
Instead we lost "Marcan", Hector Martin, the lead of the Asahi Linux project, following an intervention in the drama-thread by none other than Torvalds himself, who rather than arbitrating or defusing the situation, added to it by scolding Martin with "you are the problem".
Marcan also deleted his Mastodon account ; I am not quite sure what impact this will do on the Asahi Linux project, but fuck me sideways this all reads like unsupervised five years olds bickering in the schoolyard.
