Why do you believe that is not applicable to Emacs?  Similar to the
Linux kernel, Emacs is a large project with many subsystems that stretch
across a great amount of expertise domains.

Unlike the Linux kernel, however, the time spent by these experts
working on Emacs is much less than the time spent by experts working on
the Linux kernel, which, IMO, simply makes Emacs less suited to such a
work-flow.
