In case that /img/ thread dies or something, I'll retype info on it:
2013 Sep 5, Theodore Ts'o:
I am so glad I resisted pressure from Intel engineers to let /dev/random rely only on the RDRAND instruction. To quote the article below:

"By this year, the Sigint Enabling Project had found ways inside some of the encryption chips that scramble information for businesses and governments, either by working with chipmakers to insert back doors..."

Relying solely on the hardware random number generator which is using an implementation sealed inside a chip which is impossible to audit is a BAD idea.

2018 Sep 20, Sage Sharp, @sagesharp, with a faggy looking haircut:
The new Code of Conduct explicitly says discrimination and harassment on the basis of sex or gender is not allowed.
One Linux Foundation Technical Advisory Board member who did not sign off on the patch is Ted Tso who is a rape apologist.

Somewhere on a mailing list somewhere:
Code of Conduct: Let's revamp it.

The Code of Conflict is not archiving its implicit goal of fostering civility and the spirit of 'be excellent to each other'. Explicit guidelines have demonstrated success in other projects and other areas of the kernel.

Here is a Code of Conduct statement for the wider kernel. It is based on the Contributer Covenant as described at www.contributor-covenant.org

From this point forward, we should abide by these rules in order to help make the kernel community a welcoming environment to participate in.
