What he *does* have the power to do, though, is if someone was able to sneak in something outrageously bad that caused breakage, he would rip it out at its roots, and probably make sure that whoever was responsible for it getting in was either properly chastised (if it was unintentional), or > tldr: if the maintainer of some subsystem agrees, it's probably in.

And by the way, it is this trust that you speak of that is one of the main reasons why I'm not worried about this. Linus has good people around him, and none of them would allow something like it to happen either.
