Hey-hey-hey, not so fast! I, for one, love systemd and I'm not ashamed to admit it. It's not without flaws for sure but it gets the job done and is very easy to manage. It really follows the "least surprise" rule or something, i.e. you do simple things and get the exact result you wanted. I understand the proponents of Unix-way that systemd obviously violates compared to SysV and I love Unix-way. Systemd just does that system management task better imo.
So, overall: Linus pondering his behavior and changing it might be fine (if he would still be a harsh taskmaster, maybe less rude). Bringing politics into Linux is NOT FINE at all.

Problem : a Code of Conduct is the first step in a long road that ends with people submitting bug reports because comments in the code use gendered pronouns. It's an either/or situation with a middle ground only being temporary on the way towards one extreme or the other. Either let Linus be Linus and tell everyone to grow a thicker skin, or we will end up watching the people that take over for the people that take over for Linus crash development for reasons that have nothing to do with code and everything to do with non-coders that can't do what Linus has done and won't even be able to maintain it.
Linux will lose Linus eventually. He has to die sometime. He might/probably-will retire before then. I'm just in the camp that says that we should keep doing what's worked for this long until we absolutely can't anymore, and then hopefully whoever takes over will ALSO prioritize quality of code over being liked.

That depends. Are you my boss, and have I screwed up? Yes and yes? Then abuse is exactly what I would expect. Especially if the screw up was a repeat one.

I believe we should be a little more accepting towards our geniuses and leaders. There is no reason to insult people and put them down for their mistakes, but that is what we have in Linus. We can't choose half a person while rejecting his other half. People come as a whole with the good and the bad bits.
And no matter what happens, I hope this community never accepts the SJW culture. It is a culture with which one shows oneself as being morally superior without actually doing anything worthwhile. It starts a competition of who could be the most offended on other's behalves.

No-one is born perfect and fully formed and the expectation that someone who is just starting with kernel development will be immediately able to satisfy the code maintainer's expectations is nonsensical.
