You mean dylanmtaylor? I didn't know he was an MSFT employee but I guess I wouldn't be surprised.

He isn't. Also never was (unless the CV lies that is).

As for what drove him instead.. I suppose we will never know.

All we can know for certain is that the whole thing felt _very_ inorganic and not like something a reasonable human being would just start doing out of the blue.

(Corporate) politics love plausible deniability, so maybe it was just inherently human randomness. I'm sure it was. Please move along.

Maybe it's a Lennart Pottering sockpuppet.
I doubt it.

And you would doubt it too if you would look at the actual person that is Lennart beyond the "Pulseaudio bad. Systemd bad. Lennart bad." meme.

Very different handwriting too.
