Are you still using Visicalc, released 37 years ago? If everything goes right and Linus lives up to his mid-80's even at that minimum, those years will be several life times for a single software project to live.
There's a much better chance that kernel writing would have been fully automated by AI or evolved through much advanced genetic algorithms by the time Linus Torvalds passes away.
