Now that's an interesting reference!

I actually remember this incident (albeit blurredly, hell, was that really 10 years ago...).

I dug up a few snippets[1] and I think the main sources of the animosities back then were certain regressions caused by privsep (not a hassle-free change) and a bit of ego-clashing (Alan Cox, Theo).

Your summary of the events may be about right, but is "not wanting to dance to someone else's tune" really a good argument against an attempt at responsible disclosure?
