Thanks Josh for publishing your naive article early. Reading it and a bunch of the comments was the best read this week. History has yet to concide open desktop operating systems in favour for smartphone era silo platforms.

I feel the answer, at least for desktop, is going to be some sort of hybrid between the app store model of smartphones and the upstream packager model of Linux distros. What I'd really like to see is some data viz and machine learning tools to analyze the dependencies of open source software, and then intelligently cut extra strings. Fewer deps makes more reliable software.
