During the roundtable discussion at LinuxCon this year, Linus Torvalds made some pretty harsh remarks about the current state of the Linux kernel, calling it "huge and bloated", and that there is no plan in sight to solve the problem. At the same time, he also explained that he is very happy with the current development process of the kernel, and that his job has become much easier.

Isn't a kernel an OS? I thought he forked a platform which included a kernel.
(sorry, I couldn't resist.. cheap shot I know but it amused me for five minutes)
You didn't understand my point, my point is that Theo de Raadt didn't wrote OpenBSD from scratch, instead, he forked the NetBSD code base.
So comparing him with Linus Torvalds, a person that started his own kernel, it's kind of silly.
Don't get me wrong, Theo is a cool guy and he has made very good things such as SSH, OpenBSD is also one of them, but I wouldn't compare a person that forks a code base with someone else that creates one, like Linus Torvalds, who has started his own kernel and has been leading one of the biggest and greatest open source projects out there, that is Linux.
