This is a big topic - and I will hopefully find the time to cover this in detail soon - but for now allow me to offer a quality short review of it courtesy Tim Pool. The situation is as follows: SJW's are trying to invade the Linux development space and impose their rules there - such as diversity quota requirements. They are, in short, doing what they are doing pretty much everywhere they show up.
In response to this, some prominent developers threaten to withdraw their code from the codebase thus potentially destroying Linux, or at least drastically hobbling any future development. That may cause drastic consequences across the board as Linux runs all sorts of things, from your home WiFi router to massive compute clusters.
This is a very important development and I fully intend to follow it.
