   Linus DOES have a bit of a rep as a 'dictator'. On
   the whole, what annoys him seems quite reasonable,
   but his staff/contributors may not always see it
   that way. There MAY come a point ....

   On the plus, Linux is "big enough" now - in SO many
   things and infrastructure systems - that it's PROBABLY
   safe for at least a decade or two.

   I see "AI" systems ultimately replacing all the
   extant OS's. They will be very flexible and
   "smart" (and nobody will really have a clue how
   they work). Triple current computational speed
   and they'll be tomorrow's go-to.
