This reverts commit 6e90b675cf942e50c70e8394dfb5862975c3b3b2.

An absolutely no-one-ever-reviewed patch, not even by the maintainers who
got removed themselves - at least not on the mailing list. Then the patch
just got slipped into an unrelated subsystem pull request, and got pulled
by Torvalds with not even a comment.

What about the next time? Who next would be removed from the MAINTAINERS
file, the kernel.org infrastructure? What if the compliance requires
another XZ backdoor to be developed without further explanation? Is the
kernel development process still done in public?

Are the "compliance requirements" documented on docs.kernel.org? Who are
responsible for them? Are all that are responsible employees of
The Linux Foundation, which is regulated by the U.S. legislature?

I was a little bit sick when I wrote my previous comment, but I wanted 
to elaborate, so here we go:

Of course it's not going to be reverted, and I don't mind.

I do however mind about the fact that you accuse contributors (however 
minimal their contributions were, like in my case) of being "Russian 
trolls" using "multiple accounts".

I would have thought that a man of your stature, knowledge and 
publicity, wrote a more sensible, neutral comment than that childish 
gibberish you produced.
Such comments can be seen in the hundreds on every major news website's 
comment section.
Unfortunately, this is now common discussion standard at least in the 
Western world:

"You don't agree with X? You must be a Y!"

There is no doubt that there are Russian troll factories - but there is 
equally no doubt that there are Western troll factories. Without them, 
this "game" wouldn't work.

You could just have done a simple 'git log --grep="Name"' to find out 
that most of those people who you accused of being trolls are actually 
not trolls. Because trolls do not contribute.

Of course not. It's a USUKEU thing. Or, dare I say, a thing of the 
unipolar anglo-american empire. There is no way around a multipolar 
world order if we as humans want to progress.

Why didn't you (or Greg) elaborate on the "various compliance 
requirements" in the first place?
You could just have said:

"Due to the sanctions against Russia, we as a US-based foundation are 
required to abide and therefore we have to remove some maintainers that 
are thought to be directly collaborating with the current regime" (I 
specifically used a "Western" language).
That, at least, would have been somewhat honest, though still hypocrite.

And I did read through (most of) these EU compliance requirements 
because of my job (not IT), so I'm not *that* clueless.

The sanctions are absurd anyway - I don't remember that the US had been 
sanctioned because of their illegal invasion of [insert country of your 
choice]. US athletes excluded from the Olympics?? How dare you?

I also don't remember that France or UK had been sanctioned because they 
abused their UN mandate to get rid of Gaddafi.

The "country" Kosovo, created by a war, isn't even recognized by all EU 
member states!

And don't even get me started on that Eastern Mediterranian country that 
can commit the worst atrocities without ever getting seriously sanctioned.

Meanwhile, we sanction Iran (hasn't started a war in ages), Cuba (hasn't 
started a war in ages), North Korea (hasn't started a war in ages) etc.

The Western arrogance and decadence is disgusting, and I say that as a 
born and bred Western European.

I'm already more than fed up with the state-sponsored spam on German TV 
- and I even have to pay for that BS!
Now, I don't know how it is in Finland because I don't follow Finnish 
news due to a total lack of language knowledge.

I wish my country would quit NATO, and then I see that Finland *joined*. 
Sorry, but I don't understand. No NATO, no war in Ukraine.
Even as late as 2013, Russia and Ukraine did naval manoevers in the 
Black Sea - together!

This war is sooo totally unnecessary. Maybe you should ask Vicky "F!ck 
the EU" Newland why this all happened.

Why do you even mention your nationality?
Just a few weeks ago, I read about the role of Finland in (and before) WW2.
I don't think there is a big lack of history knowledge on my side.

My country was occupied by Germany twice, in 1914 and in 1940.
And yet, I have absolutely no bad feelings about either Germany as a 
country nor Germans as a people. OK, their government is the worst since 
1945, but that's a different matter.

Wasn't Mannerheim married to a Russian? Eh?

The former German Minister of Foreign Affairs, Guido Westerwelle, once 
talked about "late Roman decadence", albeit in a different context.

And yet, he was totally right even in other contexts. The Western world 
is actually in the state of "late Roman decadence".
And what follows after that decadence? Right, the downfall. And it might 
be a huge chance to create a better, more equitable world.
