Someone needs to codify this shit for when he leaves. Its surprising that he still needs to scream at people after two decades of kernel work. I don't have a lot of faith that whoever comes after him will be as proud of the kernel as he is given they just inherited most of it.

Succession is a weird concept with linux but the fact that it has always been more stable than the other OS' is I think the main reason it is been so successful in the internet age.

An example of a failed succession is Tim Cook; the guy is the complete opposite of Jobs. Just take a look at the apple website nowadays. A product guru would not sell three generations of iphones that are all cannibalizing each other and lack any real differences.
