    They were removed from the maintainer position of whatever they did. Bizarre enough.

            I might have interpreted your first comment wrong. But I did not read the booted maintainers directly worked for their government.

        Did you watch the “collateral damage” video? Just wondering.

        Not all Russians are war criminals. Neither are all US citizens.

          Doesn’t effect all Russians. Just 11 Russian maintainers that work for sanctioned Russian companies. Who can still contribute, they just can no longer make changes to the kernel with no approval/oversight.
