Re: The problem is, usually Linus is right

Sarah Sharp works for Intel's open source group, so she is (was) paid for her work on the kernel.

Makes no difference. Intel aren't being paid for her time either. In fact, Intel has a corporate responsibility to protect their employees from abuse, etc. If Intel decides that pouring investment into Linux is not worth the effort (ie they cannot persuade their staff to do the work in an environment Intel does not control) then they might just stop bothering. That would be very bad for Linux.
