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.
