I'm formally stepping down as a nouveau kernel maintainer. I want to stress out this is only for the kernel side of things and has and will not have any impact on my involvement in mesa. Don't really want to add too much here, just that things need to change. Recent events (tm) is just another example of the deep disagreement. I won't be able to convince people I made up my mind on my own here, so I won't bother with it anyway.

Following the R4L debacle “you are cancer, you are the problem, we are the thin blue line”, another maintainer steps down from the Linux Kernel

    The leadership response to this and the subsequent backlash is starting to remind me of the NixOS debacle from about a year ago.

    That resulted in the project being split and like 30% of the community moving off and creating Lix.

    I would be disappointed, but not surprised, if we see something similar in the Kernel sometime in the next year or two…
