Yes, this is accurate. I've been getting entirely too many emails from Linus about how pissed off everyone is, completely absent of details - or anything engineering related, for that matter.
That's because this is not an engineering problem, it's a communication problem. You just piss people off for no good reason. Then people get tired of dealing with you and now we're here, with Linus thinking about `git rm -rf fs/bcachesfs`. Will your users be happy? Probably not. Will your sponsors be happy? Probably not either. Then why are you keep doing this? If you really want to change the way things work go see a therapist. A competent enough doctor probably can fix all that in a couple of months.
