For those unaware, Christop Hellwig is the Linux maintainer who tried to block Rust bindings for DMA.

Hellwig was a bit crusty about being overruled by Torvalds, it seems.
Just proves to me that this should’ve gone to remediation so much earlier. Losing three important contributors to the Kernel, because people were scared of involving the Code of Conduct Committee from the start, is a shit sandwich, regardless of whoever you want to blame for this.
I’m not gonna lose sleep over his departure but the Linux foundation could do a lot to improve the professionalism of the project instead of dumping money on chasing AI.
I hate that it came to this, after so many Rust devs left, but all I can say is “Good.”
