The linux kernel source is objectively bad. It's fast and efficient, but I wonder how many man months are wasted every year by kernel hackers trying to keep all of these arcanely-named functions and structurez and variables in their head, or how many more bugs could be caught and squashed if the barrier to entry wasn't so high. A better code climate benefits everyone, and it's surprising that I haven't heard of any projects to make the source more accessible. We have all the RAM we could ever dream of, let's put some noobworthy comments in those files...
