Linus Torvalds have gotten an undeserved reputation because it is oh so easy for the online tech media to take emails out of context.
Whenever he brings out the harsh words, it is because someone has been stalling and deflecting about breaking some core rule for kernel development.
Torvalds never pounce on someone out on tail end of the patch chain. He comes down hard on those that have been in charge of maintaining major sections of the kernel for years, and should know what is expected of them.
