Re: Google's Pixel security team
A project the size of Linux does need a persistent and strict leader.
However, lashing out at people with such virulence is not productive, decrease morale of existing contributors and will make would-be contributors, some of whom may even be quality ones, think twice before contributing to Linux.
Believe it or not, it's possible to stay courteous while refusing a patch or remonstrating.
What the Linux development process seems to miss are monthly/weekly/ad hoc (forum) discussions of desirable new features/changes - before a single line of code is written, so that at least there's an agreement on what to sink time in, what kind of outcome is targeted, and what will never happen.
