> You can end up with poorly written code generated by unqualified people that addresses short term business needs. Given the high standards I've seen Linux maintainers uphold over the years, and experience trying to write kernel code which is good enough for just my installation, I don't really tend to agree that the software is being written by "unqualified people" could push code into the kernel to "[address] short term business needs". Not really sure what kernel you're looking at, I'm looking at the one where AMD's display configuration codebase, which they had conveniently repurposed from their proprietary cross-platform equivalent, was reviewed thoroughly and needed to be dramatically reworked to meet the standards of the kernel maintainers; business convenience be damned.
