      Maybe there's a reading of this that isn't "Linux Foundation sponsors don't want to be funding someone that The New Yorker outs as abusive to the wider world" but uh

          I want to believe that his post was sincere, and that he genuinely does want to change. But we'll see. If nothing else, I figure the emergence of Non-Shouty Linus would do a lot more to stop people using Shouty Linus as a role model than if he were forced to step down.

          Worst thing is this is probably only going to throw more fuel onto the fire wrt the conspiracy theory that this is some "SJW" coup.
