I don't think it will take them that long to regret this change. Now that everyone knows linux will just roll over, they'll push for greater changes to the "Code of Conduct." Then developers will get deplatformed at an alarming rate. And I'll have my popcorn ready. It'll be quite the show.

It seems like nowadays that's where concessions on visible efforts the likes of the Linux kernel go, inevitably.

It's not inevitable. It can be resisted. It takes a leader who can stand up to the pressure and say no. That's not a trivial thing. The pressure is considerable, especially these days.

What evidence do you have that suggests that these reasonable changes will lead to further unreasonable changes?
