That is really good to way to handle such people - it is a win-win situation for everyone. 10x gets flexible work hours and, more importantly, interesting and varied projects. Team doesn't get annoyed by one odd guy, but they are still available to support them, and other teams. And there is mentoring in there too - this system basically makes them share their knowledge and thought process with potential others like them. EDIT: There is also a benefit of not having them be a cornerstone of any project(ie - if they leave it fails).
