He's right though. Neither as a whole nor any remaining component bugs will be fixed. MicroB, for example, has had some annoying input bugs since the release of Diablo. And how do you enjoy Modest's rapid pace of development (HTML messages anyone)? For a NIT these are significant portions of the whole devices purpose of existence.

Linux was not developed initially by a community, it was grown by one person.

There are very few projects that go from inception to completion in the hands of the greater community offering patches and tweaks.
