I’m concerned about the Linux Foundation being involved in all these projects. I expected it to be an organization dedicated to Linux. But it seems to have expanded to a myriad of different spaces and it’s endorsement is often used to legitimize really bad products, ideas and initiatives (look at the finops nonsense).
Can’t they just be stewards of Linux kernel development and focus on that? If there are other initiatives just create other foundations or redirect funding to those areas.

The way a lot of these other initiatives are organized is they are their own foundations/projects under the LF umbrella which lets them share infrastructure, piggtback on events, etc.
Meanwhile Linux seems to be doing quite well from where I sit. I'm not sure what activities are lacking around Linux that a more focused (and inevitably much leaner) organization would drive.
