My memory is different. He claims that his intention is to keep
kernel/userspace interfaces stable, but given the fact that this did
never happen, I tend to believe that he lacks the understanding on
what all is part of the kernel/userspace interface.

He also send me a 10 line patch for cdrtools in 2004 and I did never
get a worse patch (a patch that includes more new bugs) for my
software.

So I cannot confirm your view.

He is a person with a strong ego and this may have helped to spread
Linux.
