No he's not. Even if he wanted to he could not. This is one of the advantages
of Linux, no one man can ruin it for the rest of us. If Linus got on some
psych drug and went nuts and proclaimed that Linux is evil and must not be
used anymore, it would only cause noise as the rest of us could happily
continue without him.

True, he might slow down certain development by not contributing anymore, but
that's about it.
