So what is going to happen when Linus gets to old to keep on to maintain the kernel ? I know there is a whole team, but he seems to have some kind of executive role in what’s gets released and not.

Say hello to Yet Another Linus Thorvalds Android, or YALTA for short. Name was decided upon at a conference. It was the compromise option, but remember that Android (and now, also androids) are technically still Linux (and now, also Linus).
