I'd actually never heard of Lennart, I'm not a systems programmer and don't generally follow what's going on in Linux politics.

Reading the OP PR thread, I get a very bad impression of him, not informed by any prior bias.

Perhaps he has settled into really negative communications and decision patterns as a result of being unfairly combatted so much in the past. But it's still there. His decision and behavior in this PR is pretty ridiculous, it in fact seemed even _more_ ridiculous to me not knowing what a 'big deal' he was.
