  "Linux" is a brand name when it comes to a specific code base.  Because 
this is Free Software you have a built-in meritocrisy where it doesn't 
matter who has what reigns.

  If another project wanted to re-architect the kernel they could do so,
using the existing code base, and fork the source.  This is exactly what I
hope to happen with there being many different kernels to choose from.

  I think I heard somewhere that there is strength in diversity (Or was it
"Unity in Diversity" ? ;-)
