If you are doing or using something which is meant for the common mass you have to worry about what they say. Ofcourse we do have the saying the majority is a fool but still it is a much needed fool. Anyway other than that I dont think the URL was presented or commented on in the right way. My interpretation of why they think Linus is not needed is because Linux has caughtup with so much of a momentum that it is running on it's own. Yes Linus does his share of coding and yes he is guiding the developement process - but what the article says is that there are enough people contributing to Linux and quite a few commercial organization are getting to decide which way Linux developement should go forward. Yes commercial organization do worry about what will get them more money from the majority unlike some people who would prefer to stay in their shell.
