It's funny you mention that one: My day job for a number of years to was to do linux kernel drivers and other patches.

The fact that Linus didn't work fulltime on Linux seems to contradict your assertion that some projects require full time workers.

I didn't make any such assertion. My assertion was that coders need full-time jobs.
