Quoting from this thread https://lore.kernel.org/rust-for-linux/Z6OzgBYZNJPr_ZD1@phen...
> Simona Vetter: (addressing Hector) ...Now I'm left with the unlikely explanation that you just like thundering in as the cavalry, fashionably late, maximally destructive, because it entertains the masses on fedi or reddit or wherever. I have no idea what you're trying to achieve here, I really don't get it, but I am for sure fed up dealing with the fallout.
> Dave Airlie: To back up Sima here, we don't need grandstanding, brigading, playing to the crowd, streamer drama creation or any of that in discussions around this. The r4l team and drm maintainer team have this sort of thing in hand, it's not like we don't understand the community of the Linux kernel, and having this first reaction to blow shit up and dramatise it just isn't helpful.
(Obviously I am taking things a bit out of context here, I recommend giving this thread a read.)
Seems to be pretty level-headed, on point, and damning. So yeah, I don't know if I am on marcan's side this time.
Sima also went way too far with some of her comments this morning:

...is quite tonedeaf at the very least. Especially given what Marcan said about dealing with this not being his paid job.
Nobody comes off looking good here.
Is Sima paid for his contributions?

> Currently I work at Intel’s Linux Cloud SE group, mostly creating havoc in kernel driver’s given my more than a decade of work in the graphics subsystem. I’m also co-maintaining the graphics subsystem. I also have been drm/i915 kernel maintainer for a few years, but handed that all off to a great new team.
Sima is another Rust for Linux member, right?
Yeah I commented before I saw that one toot from @sima. Indeed they both look bad here.
