I would like to see this make it to the front page so we can see a decent discussion.

ESR's source didn't actually provide him any proof or really any explanation of where he got his info at all.

But if this gets a little more exposure maybe it will be possible to get Linus himself to weigh in.

The problem is that stories like this get flag-killed.

All links from that site are auto-killed. Some are vouched for and rise from the dead.

You may want to toggle "showdead" option from your HN profile to be able to view dead submissions and comments.

It's not possible to have decent discussion about this. ESR has made a weird claim, has not provided anything at all to back it up, and has made very many weird comments in the past.

If we're going to talk about this we may as well just talk about chem-trails or how the moon landings were hoaxed or other stuff that's equally bollocks.
