I wonder if him staying with the kernel so long is a sing of him growing up in Finland, getting a kind of "if your good at it, stick with it" drilled into him. This in comparison to his adopted nation, USA, where if you do not change regularly, your a dinosaur.

in one way the job has not changed (he's running kernel development), but in many other ways the job has changed drastically every few years as the process has grown.
besides, if you like what you are doing, and are getting paid well, why should you change jobs?
a large part of the reason so many tech people in the US change jobs as frequently as they do is that HR departments don't allow very significant raises, so after a couple of years, the good people have learned so much more that they can move elsewhere and get a very large raise
