So what is going to happen when Linus gets to old to keep on to maintain the kernel ? I know there is a whole team, but he seems to have some kind of executive role in what’s gets released and not.

Greg Kroah-Hartman will take up the role then. He has filled in for Linus in the past.

And they never run the same version of the kernel so that if one crashes the other is still available
