Paul, I believe that Linus is very well aware of the fact, that G+ is a non-free walled garden. He chose to use this medium for most of his communication anyway, so there is not much we can do about it. In general, it is a very sad tendency to see many free software development chosing non-free services, when free alternatives are available. OTOH, we all were upset when Linus decided to use Bitkeeper - and finally came up with git! Maybe at some point Linus will present the ultimate G+ killer?

(For the time being, I personally decided not to use G+, Facebook, Twitter, but Pump.io and - soon - MediaGoblin.)
