    I’m not sure. I envision a lot of regulatory stuff happening around the kernel as it becomes more popular & vital to infrastructure. As that happens, the direction of it becomes more controlled and eventually maybe becomes unrecognizable.

    But maybe the fact it’s open source flat out prevents that?

    I really don’t know, I’m not a futurists, I was just internet speculating.

      The Linux kernel is already popular & vital to infrastructure, servers and Android exist

        That’s true.

        But Android getting more & more locked down as time goes on is a good example of what I’m afraid of might start happening once there are too many cooks in the kitchen.

        I’m just speculating out of nowhere.
