I didn't say that every interaction was stellar either. But Linux means big money, it's not just "wrong code" but corporate interest attempting to get their way into the kernel (plenty of examples in the .org mailing list), or HW manufactures trying to get support for their stuff for free, etc. It's not as naive as "code quality".
