Sure.  All accounted for, and I'm still willing to offer long odds.
Linus knows what he needs, and he doesn't need "experts" to tell him
about keeping his options open---that's one of the things he's _best_
at.  If in spite of that, he chooses "explicit", well, I'm willing to
bet he _won't_ change his mind, because he will have made a correct
assessment of the _low_ value of tagline _to him_.
