Bottomley: Respect and the Linux Kernel Mailing Lists

SCSI subsystem maintainer James Bottomley has posted adifferent view on the issue of civility on the kernel's mailing lists."So, by and large, I'm proud of the achievements we've made incivility and the way we have improved over the years. Are we perfect? byno means (but then perfection in such a large community isn't a realisticgoal). However, we have passed our stress test: that an individual withbad patches to several mailing lists was met with courtesy and helpfuladvice, in spite of serially repeating the behaviour."
