I mean, Linus has openly acknowledged that he has behaved unprofessionally in the emails he sends to people who are trying to contribute. There isn't anything secret here.
Btw. great gathering of people with a *BSD background or friends :-)
I think, we all should be way more cool headed. Email doesn't contain the tone and it is very easy to formulate something in a bad way when exhausted or upset. Some people use very strong words that considering their usual style aren't nearly as strong in reality.
In this case, the great question is, how did such a bad code (according to Jason) land in the code base at all? Don't other people look at it? Do the FreeBSD developers ignore concerns of other fellow developers until it blows up to beyond community communication circles?
