The article is obviously a joke, but the question is not without merit. Does he have a mechanism in place to pass the reins onto someone else if he were to be abducted by aliens, enlisted into a secret army, or even... hit by a bus?

He's clearly the top point of a massive tree-like hierarchy, so it is an important question.

I would imagine Greg Kroah-Hartman would take over. He has already taken over Linus's responsibilities once when Linus took a break.

You need to factor in that most linux users don’t leave the house that often let alone linux (kernel) developers.

"Being hit by a bus" is a largely metaphorical construction which describes any unnatural, unexpected or sudden death. Staying at home doesn't make a man any less susceptible to such dangers.

In fact, a much more common danger, one which we should all plan for, is total incapacitation. If being hit by that bus, or slipping in the shower, doesn't kill you, you may wind up in a coma, or with TBI, and not in control of your mental faculties.

Don't wind up like Terri Schiavo. Discuss these scenarios with your loved ones, work out a plan, make it legal and binding. You'll be thankful when the time comes, or when it doesn't.

Thanks for sharing that, although it was a humorous comment :)
