So if those "kernel experts" are not saying more than Linus can say, how comes that you got to know what they haven't dare to say to anybody else? o_O I guess we should all educate ourselves in substantiating our claims with facts, instead of throwing stones at random. I have had the opportunity to read through several parts of the Linux kernel in the past, mostly related to networking, scheduling, and vfs. Once I had to modify the vfs layer to trasparently include symmetric encryption for all the supported FS. I guess it was 2.4 or 2.6. Another time I developed a full soft real-time stack for ad-hoc sensor networking (that was definitely 2.6). I also had the opportunity to develop several custom device drivers, back in the days, and even to do some reverse-engineering on a few "closed" drivers. I can't say I have examined all that stuff in detail, but I think I have a very rough idea of what is going on under the hood. And what I saw is that the Linux kernel is in general very easy to read and to understand. Hence my conclusion: if anything wrong was there, we would most probably know already.
