    They weren’t kicked out, iirc. Their contributions just aren’t automatically merged anymore

      And they are all welcome back if they can satisfy the Linux Foundation that they’re not affiliated with a sanctioned entity on the SDN list.

      But that headline is provocative, it gets people going.

        Does it? Russians can’t do Russian stuff anymore isn’t really controversial.

        It is somewhat chucking the baby out with the bath water but I doubt anyone’s losing sleep over it.

          No, this is clearly evil and racist and true nazism, and we must reverse it even though it doesn’t hurt anybody but the west, and therefore Russia actually wants it, but not really?

          I’m sorry, the talking points are confusing here, can I have my lines again?

      They were removed from the maintainer position of whatever they did. Bizarre enough.

          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.
