Linus rants regularly but it's just rants.
The last time that I saw him post his uname (in the last 8-10 months),
he was using Fedora (and therfore systemd). He's ranted about Gnome
and policykit and he's using both.
You'll have a hard time avoiding Kay's coding if you're using Linux
since he's the udev maintainer.
