A Linux kernel discussion regarding the removal of maintainers linked to the Russian Federation has seen Linus Torvalds joining in, who refused to reverse the change, pointed out that compliance requirements are not limited to the USA, confirmed that the reason stems from sanctions against the Russian Federation, and stated that the hysteria caused by random anonymous participants in the discussion will not change anything. He also stated that the need for blocking was explained to him and other maintainers by lawyers, but he will not start a discussion on legal matters with random people who are not involved in the kernel development, suspecting them to be paid trolls.
