First, this list is for discussion of issues related to the Linux
Documentation Project, not any random Linux topic.
Second, see http://www.li.org/whatislinux.php, question "What if Linus
Torvalds stops working on Linux?" You may as well ask "what would happen to
Windows if Microsoft goes bankrupt?" since that's more probable.
