"It's over. The magic is gone. The dream is dead. The egg has fallen off the wall and no amount of 'sudo' super glue can put his pieces back together again. I'm referring, of course, to the not-so-recent departure of Con Kolivas from the Linux kernel development community. Con - that champion of all things desktop centric - hung-up his keyboard this summer, the victim of an ideological rift within the Linux community." Update: And the first rebuttal appeared.

That's certainly a creative interpretation, bornagainpenguin. If you form a clique of people who agree with your views, Linus recognizes it as a clique, which you have formed, of people who agree with your views... and assigns it a value in keeping with that status.
The moral? Do stuff out in the open. Don't form a clique. If it is kernel related, have the conversations on LKML.
What I have said can hardly be considered a revelation to anyone.
