Yes, I agree.  And even more ironic that Linus himself doesn't think that its 
appropriate for most projects, it appears.  And moreover, that the picture 
that I have been getting -- and it sounds like you too -- about what is and 
is not acceptable in the Linux kernel development is a more nuanced than it 
appears.

Thread at:

Direct link to the messages from Linus:

  http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/75083

but I would really suggest reading the whole thread.
