then distros need to start rejecting any linus contributed code and fork the kernel.

    Just what the Linux community needs, more fragmentation

    Open source when someone forks something for a reason that aligns with my worldview: "The beauty of open source! Anyone can fix a problem!"

    A fork would need lots of initiative from existing kernel developers. Distro people are more of userspace integrators, less system programmers. I think distros will experiment with rebasing against different kernels, maybe a revival of Debian GNU/kFreeBSD or something. At the end of the day though, it's up to laptop and phone manufacturers whether to put money into developing hardware support on top of those.
