If Torvalds quit Linux would anyone notice?
If Linus Torvalds stepped away from his position as coordinator of the Linux kernel, it is unlikely many people would notice, according to the man himself.
When asked what would happen if he decided to step away from coordinating kernel development, Torvalds said it certainly would not be the death of Linux.
In a video interview at linux.conf.au in Melbourne last week, Torvalds said:
"There are many people who are trusted -- it is not just Andrew [Morton] who would be the obvious step-in replacement and almost nobody would notice. There are other people who could take over what I do."
