Ian's original message proposed doing this specifically due to Linus's
statements about the FSF during the Q&A, I believe. In other words, it
was about behavior in a venue that we control. I don't think anyone has
proposed banning him because of behavior on the LKML. (And, to reiterate,
I don't think he should be banned due to those statements during the Q&A
either, but I think it's worth pointing out that Ian also respected the
line that you and AJ are pointing out and was not on the side of that line
that you seem to think he was.)
