Isn't the beauty of open source that people can take the idea of one person and build on it? Linus took Minix and evolved it to a state where Linux is today. This is Well and Good.
Tannenbaum disagrees with the design philosophy behind Linux, he likes a micro-kernel implementation. And if as many man-hours were spent improving Minix as were spent improving Linux, who is to say which would be the best today.
I say support the MFS project, diversity is better than stagnation.
