Scrum is really useful for exploration and innovation work, things that may not even involve programming.

In general I think sticking to Scrum for Software Engineering is overkill, or maybe the 2 week sprints are too short.

Thats' a shame, and definitely something that the Linux ecosystem needs to address.
