The code base may be smaller, but the cost may or may not be smaller.
There are some interesting activities going on. Please check out  the
information about the "Safety Critical Linux" project run by the Open
Source      Automation      Development      Lab     (OSADL),     see
http://www.osadl.org/Safety-Critical-Linux.safety-critical-linux.0.html
There is a real chance to establish an "Open  Certification  Process"
in  a  not  to  far future, so Linux might still be a better long-tem
investment.

Best regards,
