Dear Linus Torvalds,


We are not paid actors. Most of us here are just common kernel

developers or Linux users expressing our own opinions about the

removal commit.


I can fully understand your disapproval of Russian aggression. However,

the true responsibility for the war lies with the ruler, not these innocent

developers, right? Removing them from the MAINTAINERS file neither

really assists Ukraine nor cripples Russia. Those who are removed are just

developers, not politicians or soldiers. On the contrary, this silent 
removal

will damage our trust in the transparency of kernel development.
