Whither UserLinux?

Is it just my imagination or are our Linux *advocate* luminaries getting more and more interested in promoting *themselves*? Meanwhile, the luminaries that do the real work: Torvalds, Morton, et. al. continue to keep their noses to the grindstone and care more about their work than about self-promotion.

To be honest, it may well be my imagination. I've never had a high opinion of the guys in the marketing or sales departments at the company I work for.

It's always been that way, with the two loudest self-appointed spokesmen, Bruce and ESR. What have they actually contributed other than noise?
