When Linus wrote this (in Oct 2012), it was specifically about a bug in udev concerning deadlocking if moudule_init() did a request_firmware() which apparently broke in udev182. [1] Linus was really pissed off because this issue had dragged on for months and Kay had apparently ignored patches to fix it [2]. I don't personally think this was because of malice or conspiracy -- it's far more likely to be some kind of technical misunderstanding or a design issue than anything else.
