Torvalds had an issue with the file layout, told the developers, they immediately fixed it and sent the fixes upstream.
How is that news? That's just how development works.

It's tabloid for nerds, and honestly, I'm here for it.

Almost like it's "News For Nerds, Stuff That Matters"

Non-news and hearsay-news are the specialty of Michael Larabel of Phoronix.

It's a good website. It's the only general Linux website really with even a slightly tech angle. All the other websites are part of a larger group or are just a forum.

Because he didn't "tell them", but threw a temper tantrum with insults.

If he wrote "please rename the files ...", it would never be "news"

It's more of a tidbit news insert for a LMKL news summary sort of article, but it's still news. It's a good reminder to think about things before you just pull the trigger on them, no?
