Did you read the message? This is Linus making a very explicit statement shutting down the claim that there is uncertainty.
I did, yes.
My remark is that the complaint that kept coming up from both proponents and detractors of the R4L effort is that Linus said one thing in writing and the actual outcomes appear to be substantially different, and at the point where several people who have contributed for years to Linux have left over the friction involved, I don't think "he should have intervened sooner" is a novel take.
I agree that he should have stepped in immediately, but that is not at all the content of your prior messages.
