And I believe he is wrong in this case. Linus is absolutely a lynchpin for Linux control. He can be replaced, but whoever replaces him then becomes that lynchpin. He's the benevolent dictator for life after all.
- samatman 2y agoYou're assuming that would be one person and one organization, the way it is now. I think that's the most likely outcome, but it isn't a safe bet by any means. In any case I hope it's a good long time before we have to find out, since I wish Linus long life and good health.
- philistine 2y agoThere's already a contingency plan, and Linus has designated his consigliere, Greg Kroah-Hartman, as his successor. I don't expect the structure to change. I guess we'll see.
