Linus? Too tired of the open source community to risk having to deal with it more. Hasn't released anything since 2005, he just drifts on the waves. So sad he doesn't see the human energy wasted on his projects, and doesn't move them into the modern era, where compatibility with the past can be dropped in favor of a much tighter feature set, while also coming free of C/C++. In short: don't count on Linus, he's been a coward, he's too comfortable leading from the back.
