Perhaps one of the more surprising changes in the 6.12-rc4 development kernel was the removal of several entries from the kernel’s MAINTAINERS file. The patch performing the removal was sent (by Greg Kroah-Hartman) only to the [email protected] mailing list; the change was included in a char-misc drivers pull request with no particular mention.
6.12-rc4 开发内核中一个较为出人意料的变化，是内核 MAINTAINERS 文件中若干条目的移除。执行此移除操作的补丁（由 Greg Kroah-Hartman 发送）仅投递至 [email protected] 邮件列表；该改动被纳入一个字符设备驱动程序的拉取请求中，未作特别说明。
The explanation for the removal is simply “various compliance requirements”. Given that the developers involved all appear to be of Russian origin, it is not too hard to imagine what sort of compliance is involved here. There has, however, been no public posting of the policy that required the removal of these entries.
移除的原因仅简单标注为“各种合规要求”。鉴于涉及的开发者均具有俄罗斯背景，不难想象这里涉及的是何种合规问题。然而，关于要求移除这些条目的具体政策，目前尚未有公开发布。

Ok, lots of Russian trolls out and about.
好的，许多俄罗斯水军正在活跃。
It’s entirely clear why the change was done, it’s not getting reverted, and using multiple random anonymous accounts to try to “grass root” it by Russian troll factories isn’t going to change anything.
完全清楚为何进行了这一改变，它不会被撤销，而利用多个随机匿名账号试图通过俄罗斯水军工厂来“草根”推动，也不会改变任何事情。
And FYI for the actual innocent bystanders who aren’t troll farm accounts - the “various compliance requirements” are not just a US thing.
顺便提醒一下，那些真正无辜的旁观者，并非来自水军账号——所谓的“各种合规要求”并非仅限于美国。
If you haven’t heard of Russian sanctions yet, you should try to read the news some day. And by “news”, I don’t mean Russian state-sponsored spam.
如果你还没听说过俄罗斯制裁，不妨哪天试着读读新闻。我说的“新闻”，可不是俄罗斯官方赞助的垃圾信息。
As to sending me a revert patch - please use whatever mush you call brains. I’m Finnish. Did you think I’d be supporting Russian aggression? Apparently it’s not just lack of real news, it’s lack of history knowledge too.
至于给我发回退补丁——请用你所谓的脑子。我是芬兰人。你以为我会支持俄罗斯的侵略吗？显然，这不仅仅是缺乏真实新闻，也是缺乏历史知识。

Emacs也会遭遇类似的“合规要求”吗？
