Nope, Linux stopped being Linus's house a long time ago. the fact that thousands of developers have contributed to it made linux what it is right now. you cannot ignore the millions of lines of code contributed by non-linus humans purely because of the virtue of it being opensource. This childish mindset that its 'mine' (mind you not Linus but other projects) has led to unnecessary fragmentation in opensource world and led it to the state it is in now. regarding the situation at hand, linus is effectively a project lead for linux. though I understand the need to create a certain persona or quality-barrier for maintaining quality of linux, I feel his personality & the name calling attitude is actually hurting the kernel community and hindering more active participation.
