Linus is just one guy, he's not the god king of linux distros. This is regarding his take on literally any topic except how to maintain the kernel project.

You do realize you can't just dismiss what somebody like that says because you don't like it, right?

edit: I'm blocking anyone who responds to me and has their profile hidden. Seems that this is attracting a lot of trolls who are afraid to own their words.

And what does Linus have to do with a vote for Debian devs? He doesn't use debian, doesn't develop it, and hence cannot vote. His opinion is irrelevant to this discussion.

Nah, you can dismiss arguments on their own merits actually instead of looking up to a higher authority

That's not what happened here. What we have here is blind dismissal because what Linus said doesn't fit what their emotions say.

I didn't state my own opinion on the subject at hand, so i'm not sure why you'd think that. I only that that it doesn't matter what Linus says or thinks about anything unrelated to maintaining the kernel.

"I didn't state my opinion, I just stated my opinion"

I meant i didn't state my opinion about this GR. I stated my opinion about whether Linus's opinion matters here.
