上周，Greg Kroah-Hartman 发布了一个补丁，从内核中删除了十几名维护人员，他留下的评论是
Remove some entries due to various compliance requirements. They can come back in the future if sufficient documentation is provided.
然而目前还没人知道什么叫做 合规要求 和 足够的文档 ，这些被移除的维护人员的共同点是，他们都是俄罗斯人或和俄罗斯有关，其中大部分人使用.ru 邮箱。
此次 commit 连接，欢迎来评论区看巨魔 
此处附上 Linus 本人在补丁发布后的回应，为避免情绪化翻译只贴上原文：
Ok, lots of Russian trolls out and about.
It’s entirely clear why the change was done, it’s not getting
reverted, and using multiple random anonymous accounts to try to
“grass root” it by Russian troll factories isn’t going to change
anything.
And FYI for the actual innocent bystanders who aren’t troll farm
accounts - the “various compliance requirements” are not just a US
thing.
If you haven’t heard of Russian sanctions yet, you should try to read
the news some day. And by “news”, I don’t mean Russian
state-sponsored spam.
As to sending me a revert patch - please use whatever mush you call
brains. I’m Finnish. Did you think I’d be supporting Russian
aggression? Apparently it’s not just lack of real news, it’s lack of
history knowledge too.
