I agree with the person you're replying to in the sense that Linus's decision is OK, but the delivery could be less "idiotic". This could be a different message entirely. Even a cold "Yes we have some things happening. Can't tell more for now" would've been fine.
Where did that come from? Sir this is a kernel mailing list. Why the nationality chest beating? I'm Polish and I have a smirk all day on November 4 but it's just so childish from Linus.
You can look at the thread. The initial one got a lot of replies from a "Vladimir Putin" saying "You should kill yourself NOW!". The Git commit is even worse, with the a lot of insults. Not what usually happens on that kind of places, not that they are always kind and lovely.
