Not really, and I very much doubt that he wants to be the 'one person'
who decides what to do. Lately, since the Standards list has died,
Owen LeBlanc and I have tried to confer on various things we thought
it was important to keep uniform among the releases, but that's about
it.

There might be an official 'Linux 1.0' with all sorts of goodies and a
sane distribution, and there might not. People are trying to organize
things, but it is a giant undertaking.
The biggest problem, as always, is time. Most of us have jobs or go
to school. Linux is just a hobby.
