He has taken several months-long breaks and things have been fine. There are other trustworthy devs (like Greg Kroah-Hartman) who he leaves in charge who do just fine at holding the line in his absence. They might not publicly shame bad pull requests as elegantly as Torvolds, but the kernel will probably be fine.
