Torwalds brain going the same way as ByeThen's?

 There followed a number of messages questioning the legitimacy, suddenness, potentially US-forced, and non-reviewed nature of the commit, along with broader questions about the separation of open source code from international politics.
 Linux creator Linus Torvalds entered the thread with, "Ok, lots of Russian trolls out and about." He wrote: "It's entirely clear why the change was done" and noted that "Russian troll factories" will not revert it and that "the 'various compliance requirements' are not just a US thing.
 "As to sending me a revert patch - please use whatever mush you call brains.
 I'm Finnish.
 Did you think I'd be *supporting* Russian aggression? Apparently it's not just lack of real news, it's lack of history knowledge too," Torvalds wrote before signing off.
 Torvalds later wrote that he would not go into the details that kernel maintainers "were told by lawyers," and would not "start discussing legal issues with random internet people," which he suspected "are paid actors and/or have been riled up by them."
