Nobody is immune to plane crashes, terrorist attacks, or fatal heart failure – not even Linus Torvalds, who still has the final say in the development of the kernel he named Linux. This worries many, as there is no public record of who or what would take over leadership in case of an emergency.

I’m not worried about who comes next after Linus. What I am worried about is who comes after GKH…
The Linux Foundation currently lists 6 total fellows (4 not including Torvalds and GKH). I have never even heard of any of them before. I know there are lots of developers on the Linux project, but it’s also a very political position, so I wonder who would take that mantle. Probably nothing to worry about too much, but interesting to think about.
the fucking intrusiveness on that webpage is what’s going give me heart failure jfc
I updated the post with an archive link, sorry I always forget this website is like that because my ad blocking makes it appear clean to me
