Just to make things clear, Phoronix said they are being "delisted".

No, they have actually been banished, because if you're not a maintainer of some Linux kernel subsystem, Linus Torvalds stops accepting merge requests from you. You need to go through an actual maintainer first.

Much ado about nothing. There's a list of maintainers. Being delisted means you're not on the list.

If you're not a maintainer you cant maintain the kernel. D'oh.

You should not be demanding charged language just because it elicits an emotional reaction.

It's ok to make your point about it in the comments but please don't alter titles to do that. This is in the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.
