It's an interesting phenomenon where people keep coming out of the woodwork and criticize the most successful software development project inhistory for doing it wrong.
They're not micro kernel! They're not TDD! They're not C++! They're not CVS! Not SVN! Not SCRUM! Not Gitlab!
Yet the project marches on, with a nebulous vision of doing a really useful kernel for everyone. Had they latched on any of the armchain expert criticism of how they're doing it wrong all these years we wouldn't be here.

The question is - how long will it march on? The lack of new developers for Linux has been a consistent topic for years now. Linus himself isn't getting younger, and the same goes for Greg KH, Ted Ts'o and other influential leads.
When the status quo scares off too many potential newcomers, eventually the project will either wither or too inexperienced people drive the project against a wall.
