The tone of Pakki's reply made me cringe:

Between that and the "Clarifications" document suggesting they handle it by updating their Code of Conduct, they're clearly trying really hard to frame all of this as some kind of toxic culture in kernel development. That's a hideous defense. It's like a bad MMA fight where one fighter refuses to stand up because he insists on keeping it a ground fight. Maybe it works sometimes, but it's shameful.
