    I get that Linus is a superhero, but it’s still so weird to me that this vital piece of the world’s infrastructure relies on one man.

      I think its better to think of it like a president or prime minister. He might set the plan and direction and making the big decisions, but there are thousands of others supporting and making the plan actually happen.

      In the past he has delegated the release to others as well.

      So if the worst would happen, the linux project would continue operating fairly seamlessly.
