   The prob is that Linus was the one with "The Vision" - and
   has worked hard to keep that from going totally to shreds
   so Linux doesn't just become a crappy Neo-Winders bowl of
   spaghetti code.

   GUI environs ... well ... they can do those as they please
   (though some more under-the-hood consistency would please me)
   but the kernel - that's the heart and soul.

   In one of the old Linux mags there was a column by some
   kernel guy named 'Zac'. It was always some enthused twits
   with some neato new trick that would ONLY require trashing
   a lot of what's always been and works well. Linus had the
   gravitas to tell 'em to fuck off ... find some other way
   that didn't break the system & utilities. Who else WILL
   have that wisdom and gravitas ?

   I'm beginning to agree with 'D' ... that Linux has become
   too much of a 'business', that The Vision has been lost.
   Soon the Foundation will find a way to just sell it to M$
   and that's that.

   The BSDs may be the last refuge - I think they're mostly
   tended by more 'academic' cultured people.

   And if any young gurus have envisioned some new OS with
   much of the Linux goodness/solidity/simplicity - now's the
   time to really get into writing it.
