@ 2015/06/18Linus Torvalds has admitted that his Linux baby has grown so big and is so influential it can carry on without him.
In an interview with Bloomberg, Torvalds’ said that there is no concrete plan of action if he died. But that would have been a bigger deal 10 or 15 years ago.
“People would have panicked. Now I think they’d work everything out in a couple of months,” he said.
At the moment though Torvalds remains the lone official arbiter of the software, guiding how Linux evolves. When it comes to the software that runs just about everything, Torvalds is The Decider.
