Please do not blow up an issue that arose by somebody (I don't care if
it was Linus or anybody else) expressing their personal opinion.
Publicly declaring that person as unfit to attend future events (with
the explicit attention of making it as public as possible) says more
about the source of the announcement than the person mentioned in it.
Do not do this. If you feel very strongly, feel free to email Linus
*personally* and express your own opinion in turn (feel free to use
strong language if that's your thing). But I cannot agree with any
public statement in the name of Debian. It might in fact be a reason for
me to - publicly - resign (not that I would be missed much, but I would
still prefer to remain a member of a tolerant community, even if real
life has been seriously interfering with my Debian time in the last few
years).
