      It doesn’t. Russians are still free to use and contribute to Linux development. Just a few people lost their maintainer rights.

        Right? It’s weird how so many people upset about the situation in this thread are incapable of explaining why it’s a problem without lying.

        Like, I get that it sucks to be removed as a maintainer because of reasons outside your control. But being, or continuing to be, a maintainer of a project isn’t a right that’s integral to that project being free.

          I am doubtful about the agency of the commenters here. Does not seem natural, more like a group of bots / paid russian trolls.
