The other camp is people who (also rightfully) point out that kernel development has always been decentralized and we should resist all attempts to get ourselves into a position where Linux is dependent on any single Benevolent Entity (Github, Gitlab, LF, kernel.org, etc), because this would give that entity too much political or commercial control or, at the very least, introduce SPoFs. At best, I can hope to make both camps grumpily agree to coexist. I *am* very wary of Benevolent Entities, because we have too many very recent examples of companies "realigning priorities" when political winds shift. Programs and initiatives that have until recently been poster board examples of progress and benevolence are shuttered and defunded. I am concerned that we're only a couple of mood swings away from someone deciding that free software should not be allowed to exist because it benefits America's foes. Many of us remember all too well when large tech giants treated Linux as a "cancer" to be opposed, and I can certainly see that idea easily re-entering some Big Brain in Charge.
