I like that Linus is so strict on not breaking user space because this obviously aids with compatibility and it's probably a big part of why rolling releases work.
But I sure hope Linus' eventual successor won't be toxic and...cringe. It's hard to take someone serious when he's raging this much.
The good news is Linus did eventually learn this isn't okay and took some time off to reflect on how to approach these things better.
He still doesn't tolerate things like he was responding to here, still responds to them firmly and directly, but doesn't rant, yell, or hurtle insults
Good point, didn't even realize this was from 2012.

I think kernel still has compatibility with paleolithic glibc enabled by default
Why cringe? I find it fun.
Well you're broken and hurting inside.
What a nasty response
