Does he? Is it even possible to know the entirety of the Linux kernel within one head?
Plan9 is calling us home.
Does one need to know the entirety in their head to know it better than anyone else? If not Linus, who?
I’d argue the people who wrote the code for the various subsystems know more about it than the guys who “just” review and merge them.
That’s a fair point that I hadn’t considered
He’s spiraling downward, so even if he once lnew the kernel best, I am sure he no longer does by a long shot.
