What If Linus Torvalds Gets Hit by a Bus? (2000)

Might want to add '(2000)' to the title. I feel like Torvalds himself have been addressing aspects of this issue this year.

It also names Miguel de Icaza as a similarly important character, it was in 2000 because gnome, event considering Mono as an important technology nowadays, it's not as significative or critical as Gnome was back then.

Edit: wording.

Read the text, it is not what you think

I did read the text. It's humorous. But the question itself is no less important. And considering what happened with Torvalds' position this year, one might think it is a follow up to that question. So I think adding '(2000)' would definitely be helpful, if not just accurate.

> what happened with Torvalds' position this year

Read: He went on vacation for five weeks.

OP means appending ` (2000)` to the title as a year-published annotation, to disambiguate from current events. This is commonly done on HN.
