The tone of the email reminds me a lot of Linus Torvald’s brutal code review comments in the google group back then.

Can it be said that the “no nonsense” behavior often exhibited by maintainers of Linux kernel could be one of the reason the project grew to become what it is today

Google group? Do you mean LKML? As the name says, it's a mailing list.

Sure.

But that could be good or bad depending on whether you think Linux has lived up to its potential or not.
