If you follow LKML regularly, you'll know that this isn't the first time or last Linus has been rude to developers (anyone remember the furore with Con Kolivas a few years ago?) so it's just a storm in a teacup.
Sharp will either go the way of CK and stop contributing, meaning someone else takes over, or it'll blow over and our beloved dictator will keep maintaining the kernel. It would be interesting to see how many would miss Linus if some of the more abrasive high-profile kernel maintainers like Andrew Morton and Alan Cox were to take over maintaining the mainline kernel!
