Linus Torvalds, the creator of Linux and the maintainer of the development kernel, expressed concerns that the kernel development process may need to be changed to make sure that Morton is not overworked. "One issue is that I actually worry that Andrew will at some point be where I was a couple of years ago - overworked and stressed out by just tons and tons of patches," said Torvalds. "If Andrew burns out, we'll all suffer hugely."

Maybe for your enterprise but not the one i work in. I get tired of explaining why linux is not a serious enterprise player when compaired to Unix. Developers are not going to spend money developing for a platform that changes everyday on the whim of a single individual competent or not.

I have said for a while the Linux has outgrown Linus a long time ago. If his genuine concern is the ultimate success of Linux he would pass the torch to a group that can advance the kernel properly and bring Linux to the enterprise quality that it needs to be. Half the reason there is very little 3rd party software for Linux is because of this.
