I wasn't there, but I saw the video. From seeing the video, it seems to
me quite a few of the questioners threw flamebaits at Linus, sometimes
quite aggressively. And all things considered, Linus didn't respond as
you'd expect someone used to our flamewars would.
So, I don't know if he was aware of the cultural change in Debian, but
he sure did remained civil considering what was thrown at him.
Seriously, with the way he was addressed at times, I wouldn't have been
surprised if he had behaved much worse.
So yeah, Linus may not have respected the CoC (fwiw I don't think he
didn't respect it), he may not have a respectful behavior on
occasions in the Linux kernel community (which is not our direct
problem), he may not have the same views as some of us, but what I saw in
that video told me more about Debian developers than about Linus. And
not in a good way.
