Also that it was requested earky if it was going to be submitted.
Seems like Linus is accusing them of doing it last minute because they wanted to take advantage of him being busy as an intentional strategy, as he said and they didn't even submit a good offering.
That last bit kind of sounds up that he might have accepted in spite of his difficulty due to travel, but they also fucked that up and wasted a whole lot of effort.
This really seems like a public lesson for everyone else using this submission as an example of what he does not want other people to do and then proceeds to explain exactly how he feels about it.
It's definitely a rant, did seem like it had a purpose to it beyond him just letting out a rant
