If you don't like Linus, you can always fork Linux and create DyslexicAtheist OS :), but no you are attacking, he clearly says few mails later, that killing machine without very good reason is big no:

I absolutely refuse to take any hardening patches at all that have BUG() or panic() or similar machine-killing in it.

I think the bulk of the argument is about the insult. Creating a new fork doens't really help anyone. Creating a new standard just increases the number of standards.
