This is quite confusing after reading Sievers' reply on Google+ (third comment on the post) [1]
my last kernel patch is more than a year old, my last non-trivial kernel patch 2 years old. i stopped working on the upstream kernel "long ago" for reasons i cannot stand the attitude of these guys, i decided to work with grown up or funny, or grown up and funny people instead and i enjoy it a lot more. not sure what this childish blackmail attempt relates to.
I'm guessing Linus is referring to udev (which is broadly tied to the kernel). For no good reason, udev -- a separate daemon -- was pulled into systemd.
