My observation is that Linux is just the current (and most
successful) implementation of ideas that Doug, Ken, Rudd, Dennis, *et al.*
started and others have contributed to over the years. And like the
thought experiment described, there is no reason why the ship can not be
changed. It still sails the same way to the same places.

*We all sail in the Unix ship of Theseus..*. Every system today had code
from Unix directly, or from another ship that was built of the builts of
one that was split between a couple of groups. Yes, even Linux: lots of
networking userland came from BSD, for example, and while lots have been
rewritten, that's kinda the point of the ship of Theseus... :)
still in existence :-)
Congrats. In a ship of Theseus sense.:)
