I have never even tried to read the kernel source, but I read the mailing lists - quite frequently. Linus runs a tight ship. It is funniest when someone does something that will break userspace. He sets high standards. Meet them. I don't believe any forks have really done well. His method works, as abrasive as it may appear.
