You're not concerned about somebody who incites the internet hate mob against you when they don't get their way in a technical/leadership disagreement?
The amount of drama that this has created for Linux when the entire situation was being handled in a non-dramatic way is staggering.
At its root, nothing about the entire situation had anything to do with marcan anyway and yet somehow he has focused an enormous amount of attention on himself and negative opinions at those he disagreed with. He habitually does things that draw attention to himself (in situations that aren't about him specifically) and then points to _any_ form of criticism he receives and cries harassment.
Of course anyone reasonable would never want to work with him.

I agree with you but just a point of clarification. Martin was working on drivers that he wrote in Rust for the Asahi Linux project. Those drivers would utilize the rust API wrappers that were the subject of this debacle. If they were to be included (as he wanted) it would have made his life easier. If they were rejected then his own driver would be made more complicated. So, he had a legitimate stake in this and when he suspected it wasn't going the way he wanted he lashed out.
The irony is, if he hadn't blown this all up, the change could very well have snuck in under the radar.
There’s a lot of toxic behaviors that have wormed their way into certain parts of culture. I’m not as concerned about bright, brash men like Hector.
