    Don't worry, there are more than enough kernel hackers
    outside of the US to keep maintaining the kernel.

    The worst that could happen is that the US cripples
    itself by not allowing the kernel hackers outside the
    US to publish security info to people in the US, but
    only to the rest of the world.

    That's tough, they're a democratic country, they can
    change the law if it hurts them too much.

    cheers,
