I think this is a good and necessary step forward for Linux in general. The combative, aggressive nature of the code of conflict absolutely filtered down and I don't think it's a stretch to say that Linux communities are not...the friendliest (unless that's my own experience speaking).

As someone in some other comments section said "Being respectful isn't going to stop Linus from being able to decide the quality of code"

As a not-quite-rabid Linux fan, I'm saddened by the rudeness in many Linux communities.
I've read Linus' justification for rudeness on the Linux mailing list - he's almost always dealing with long time colleagues and isn't just insulting novices or random strangers. Even if I agreed with that, his example isn't followed - the larger community takes his example meaning that you can tell anyone to go $(&$%$ their $(%&$(% for any reason or no reason whatsoever.
