Incorrect.
> Code looks like it couldn't possibly pass review because it can't, and didn't.
What's this supposed to mean? Are you talking about a specific piece of code, all of Linux, or some strange general statement? No matter what it seems wrong, if nothing else because you seem to be ascribing your own unique definition to the concept of "review" or what code must look like in order to "pass review".
It's clear that you have some dislike for Linux, maybe technical maybe personal, maybe justified maybe not. Unfortunately though even if it is a well founded technical dislike, it has clouded your vision so much that you're lashing out and making trivially disproven nonsense like this on an internet forum. I think it's time for you to take a breath and think what you are hoping to achieve.
Linux has extensive review efforts many of which are public but also many more private ones that you nevertheless can see the evidence of, both pre and post code merge, which I'm almost certain you would know of unless you're just a complete clueless troll.
So given that, do you think it bolsters your credibility or achieves your goals of readjusting peoples' opinion of Linux, by blurting out such garbage? I don't think it does, but I think you sound frustrated and angry, perhaps because nobody will listen to you.
Let's start with a clean slate and let's hear your misgivings about Linux, the people involved with it, the process, etc.
