No, there are a number of 10+ year Linux programmers around.  Alan
Cox, Ted T'so, and a few others.  Linux 1.0 was released about 9 years
ago, so there WERE people (other than Linus) working on it back then.
Indeed, I'm close -- I've got 9 years of Linux kernel development
experience at this point (and I've been a Linux user for 10).
