It is the "cathedral vs. bazaar" thing. By now it should be clear that the bazaar is almost infinitely more powerful. And they know it! So they want it for them as well. Also, to have a handful och experienced developers/maintainers to do the final review, is a bit of having both worlds, I'd say. Perhaps even the best of both worlds, as in that lousy TNG show where Capt. Picard gets assimilated into a borg commander! That is, the "bazaar" is great when it comes to developing source code! In the non-computing, physical world I have yet to see a single project or setting where the "bazaar" works. My experience has been, whenever more than but a few people are involved, what happens is those few people still do all the work, while the rest gossip and meddle and create negative energy for everyone. So perhaps the only such setting is the actual bazaar itself! -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
