But this forking already happens with Linux Mama etc.
Basically with lots of patches that are 99% ready for inclusion and
just need some final comments.

Linus maintains the official versions, and only after a change set
passes through the Linus gate should it be part of ``official'' linux.

There is of course the business of sub maintainers but Linus should be
scalable enough to handle, and mostly trust all of their patches.
