Too many lords, not enough stewards

Speaking at a conference is a responsibility towards the audience, and frankly I think Daniel abused it by insulting a large group of colleagues, who don't even have the opportunity to respond. Being at the receiving end of the insults (starting from the abstract, which affirms that "the kernel community is a lot more broken than it looks" and "maintainers benefit from that") was enough to make me feel uneasy.
