Did you miss the fact that it's not a blanket ban on Russians? If you work for a sanctioned company, then I'm sorry but you are out. Missed the chance to jump ship in the last twenty years of Putin turning Russia into a dictatorship? Well, I hope you like being sent to your death. Sad times, but let's not pretend that this is discrimination.
From what I saw in the executive order it wasn't limited to just sanctioned companies. Linus and other maintainers haven't come out with which specific sanction they're talking about so its just speculation
