>The most striking thing here is that Linus has apparently dismissed incompetence as a rational explanation. Yes, he is often brash, but usually he is accusing someone of sheer stupidity.

"And that's actually ignoring the much _worse_ issue, namely that the whole hardware interface is literally mis-designed by morons."

Maybe you missed this line? Some classic Linus right there...
