Maybe there have been technical reasons. I didn't really mean to shine a light on Kirk, I like Kirk, I'm one of the few people besides Kirk to work on UFS. That said, I stand by what I said, it's what happened. And it seems to be reflective of the BSD "culture", it appears to be the opposite of inclusive. Disappointing. Linux has a very different culture. Everyone is welcome and they maintain sanity largely via Linus willing to call a spade a spade. He doesn't suffer fools but he's willing to engage with anyone until they prove themselves to be a fool and nothing more.
