Every good thing must come to an end. Sounds like linux is going to go down this path and the industry and innovation will suffer as a result of this. They've been gunning for Linus for a long time. My guess is that they got some dirt on him.

Who would that be? I'm asking because you seem to be implying something more than just a general "anti-SJW" movement or belief system, if you do think that there could be a concerted effort to blackmail Linus and usurp his position.

which is essentially a carte blanche for any actions based on 'violation of the code of conduct', especially with the inclusion of public spaces in it's scope. We've seen it being (ab)used many times recently in open-source projects.
Most recently it's been considered legally binding, and the wide net it casts seems to be a huge liability for contributors (not a lawyer, so feel free to school me on this one).
