I'm formally stepping down as a nouveau kernel maintainer. I want to stress out this is only for the kernel side of things and has and will not have any impact on my involvement in mesa. Don't really want to add too much here, just that things need to change. Recent events (tm) is just another example of the deep disagreement. I won't be able to convince people I made up my mind on my own here, so I won't bother with it anyway.

Following the R4L debacle “you are cancer, you are the problem, we are the thin blue line”, another maintainer steps down from the Linux Kernel

    I hope the rust kernel devs join hands with redox or asterinas project. which ultimately means more options for users.

      I think a sort of Linux compatibility layer could go a long way toward making Redox more viable. It may already have one, but that seems like a good place for an ex-Linux kernel dev to work.

      Yeah, I’d obviously want all these devs in Linux but BSD and Redox and many others will thoroughly appreciate their talents in the meantime.
