What options do we have to give the community a voice as far as Linux governance goes? I think the consequences much more dire than 'just' losing a community voice, when you take VMWare and AllWinner into account. The Linux Foundation is basically a funnel for multiple cooperations to collectively pay the pay checks of some important kernel developers. In other words, some major kernel developers are now indirectly working for companies that make proprietary forks of Linux. If anything, it gives a lot of legitimacy to the actions of AllWinner and VMWare to the outside world.
