多名与俄罗斯有关的Linux内核维护者被从维护文件中除名，引发广泛关注和争议。Linus Torvalds对这一决定表示支持，并指出这是基于国际制裁而实施的合规要求。尽管如此，目前尚未明确这些被除名者的未来贡献是否会被接纳。Torvalds强调，他不会讨论具体法律细节，尽管他知悉相关法律信息，但未受法律保密协议限制，也不会回应因网上虚假信息而激起的讨论。

Torvalds 回应如下:

Ok, lots of Russian trolls out and about.

It's entirely clear why the change was done, it's not getting
reverted, and using multiple random anonymous accounts to try to
"grass root" it by Russian troll factories isn't going to change
anything.

And FYI for the actual innocent bystanders who aren't troll farm
accounts - the "various compliance requirements" are not just a US
thing.

If you haven't heard of Russian sanctions yet, you should try to read
the news some day.  And by "news", I don't mean Russian
state-sponsored spam.

As to sending me a revert patch - please use whatever mush you call
brains. I'm Finnish. Did you think I'd be *supporting* Russian
aggression? Apparently it's not just lack of real news, it's lack of
history knowledge too.

好了，现在有很多俄罗斯的网络水军在活动。

为什么要做这个改变是完全清楚的，这个改变不会被撤销，使用多个随机匿名账号让俄罗斯水军工厂来搞"草根运动"也改变不了任何事情。

顺便告诉那些真正无辜的旁观者（不是水军账号的人）—— 这些"各种合规要求"不仅仅是美国的事情。

如果你还没听说过对俄制裁，你应该去看看新闻。而且说的"新闻"，不是指俄罗斯官方支持的垃圾信息。

至于给我发送撤销补丁的事 —— 请动动你那称之为大脑的东西好好想想。我是芬兰人。你以为我会支持俄罗斯的侵略行为吗？显然你们不仅缺乏真实新闻，连基本的历史知识都没有。
