from what I've seen of his grandstanding on the LKML suggesting to bully people on social media, I've lost all respect for the guy. He is a person in power considering all his social media clout, and this is how he uses it. I'm glad he realizes that it's time to sit back and reflect. And I don't mean that in a disrespectful way. He will be of much more use to the community, and more importantly himself after confronting his ego.
There are two types of VIP developers: those that stay in the shadows and do their work (think the Bram Moolenaars and Daniel Stenbergs) and those that seem to spend their entire time picking fights on social media and writing very emotionally charged blog posts that routinely reach the HN front page, because gossip and drama sells.
