Because the discussion is anticlimactic when viewed from that perspective. It has lots of message, the vast majority of which are technical. AFAICT, Linus never responded to ESR's email. But, ESR's point is still sound, which is why I suspect this got posted in the first place.

Not true, I found several emails in the thread interesting. For example, this one where Linus gives a good rant on DRY vs KISS, http://lkml.org/lkml/2000/8/22/12
