I seem to remember many random projects joining the foundation. Is this fine? Wouldn't they dilute their capability to manage a whole bunch of unrelated projects?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Ah, React JS, not React OS. Was excited for a second there.
Imagine Chromium moves to Linux Foundation rather then React.
