I'm glad Linus and many others are reviewing Kernel changes still, but how long will it be before there is nothing stopping massive corporations from deciding what can be changed?

And even with all of the experienced eyes, there have to be changes that have crept in that they didn't realize could be misused, and may still not know.

I appreciate that corporations are the biggest donators, and that is extremely important, but is there any point in which we say, "Get your own project?"

Would you prefer hardware manufacturers not to contribute drivers? And that these companies fork the kernel without providing anything back? That's not very much in the spirit of openness.

(Regardless, I'm not even sure how number of contributions would make any contributor "unstoppable".)
