You can watch a few conference talks where folks really go to town on Linus for his bad behavior.

On GPLv3 lots of calls for Linus to stop supporting GPLv2

"How do we get you to stop..."

And the list goes on and on. That said, his decisions seem to have worked out amazingly well. At some point I can imagine getting tired at having to repeatedly defend your views.

>his decisions seem to have worked out amazingly well.

As someone who regularly deals with bugs and inconsistencies in Linux, I wouldn't say so. For me personally, I just want to be able to fix the issues, and would rather not spend the time bickering with someone who has some kind of personal vendetta about something that I don't know about. I try hard not to dump my baggage on other open source maintainers, I hope others can do the same.
