Kay Sievers is a computer programmer, best known for developing the udev device manager of Linux, systemd and the Gummiboot EFI boot loader. Kay Sievers made major contributions to Linux's hardware hotplug and device management subsystems. However, in 2014 Linus Torvalds banned him from Linux kernel development, claiming that he was creating bugs and not solving them.

In 2012, together with Harald Hoyer, Sievers was the main driving force behind Fedora's merging of the /lib, /bin and /sbin file-system trees into /usr, a simplification which other distributions such as Arch Linux have since adopted.
