@dotstdy @LWN No, you misunderstand, I don't think this is a personal vendetta. I think it's cowardly to stuff this in a char-misc pull request and not give any reasonable explanation. It's unfair to the maintainers involved and it's unfair to everybody who now sees this and wonders if they are next. To be clear, it's the process I'm objecting to. Being forcibly removed as a maintainer is humiliating and damages people's reputations.
