     @sun@shitposter.world they didn't remove the drivers but the maintainers are no longer credited.
     Can they threaten with a lawsuit? probably not

     @iska if they didn't actually remove anything then I'm not as worried as I was.

     @asa no I mean that Linux is more important than some random css framework blocking access to russia

     @iska @sun It's not credit (that's CREDITS), MAINTAINERS is the file which describes where to send patches/bug-reports/… to.
