1. Appeal to a kernel maintainer to approve your changes in their subsystem, they say no
2. Complain about them to a general public which has no stake in the matter or domain knowledge about it
3. The gatekeeper is still in charge of the gate and now they don't like you

@drewdevault Not defending anyone's behaviour here, but if you don't think there is horrible behaviour inside these megacorp companies, you are uninformed. The only difference is the open source community is transparent about more of it. Meanwhile, megacorp does lots of evil political stuff which benefits only them.

@purpleidea I'm not defending megacorps generally, not by a long shot. I'm only saying exactly what I wrote: employees of megacorporations are more constructive participants in the community on average compared to individuals with a Patreon account.

@drewdevault We wouldn’t have SELinux or other beloved subsystems without all the corporate funding. Not to mention the lightweight userspace that’s been flourishing !
