I literally said the Linux stack which includes everything from the kernel to init to libs. You can't run just the kernel.

It's still a false equivalence. You'll agree that all the important bits of the Linux Stack are audited and reviewed by multiple people, right?

Parts of the Linux stack equivalent to colors and faker are carefully audited and reviewed by multiple people? That sounds to me like elevating them to important bits in a false equivalence.

When it comes to security (among other things), one simply cannot say that all the important bits are in the kernel. If that were the case, there would not be an issue to discuss here.
