Does that matter? Android could switch to Fuchsia and there would barely be a way to tell.

Any server you contact can run whatever it pleases and you'll be none the wiser (unless you get a web server error or go spelunking).

The kernel is a very unimportant part of it. So while Linux with a capital-L has "won", the free/open ethos surrounding it certainly hasn't - to my chagrin.

These are hypotheticals that are fantasies, will it matter if a meteor hits the earth?

Who do you think develops and sponsor Linux? I am excited for android using a mainline kernel, I have been using it as a mobile linux computer for years. Its easy to open, I would prefer boneless chicken but chicken is fine too.
