@Justicar Maybe after the USSA falls, we can have something nice like that. Even if someone could wrangle all the kernel devs to all play nicely with each other, feds have huge incentive to sneak backdoors into the core.

Sure, FOSS and all, but with a single project to contribute to, feds can just buy off/inject devs and have them push whatever the feds want into the core. I'm paranoid enough to type this out but not even I compile kernels from source and examine the code.
