    Indeed, RMS ceded control, but remember that control of GCC essentially had to be yanked away and placed into a steering committee

    No matter who you are, these transitions are never easy. Linus has set Linux up better than most projects, but still there is by design one central kernel (a very good design by the way, so far, for now, and for quite a while to come).
