> But it would also be cool to see what could happen with a more open development model. It seems a little disingenuous to act like we don't know what would happen, at least in broad strokes. Just compare and contrast the nature of SQLite with "more open" projects and you can get the gist. More features, more bugs, abandonment of excellent testing standards, poor handling of what are dismissed by the developers (but not the current, extremely wide base of users) as niche concerns.
