I have to interject here, because the theoretical example in this thread is what would happen if somebody had plans to compete with Basecamp in Basecamp, as some sort of hypothetical case. I actually have a bug open in FogBugz called "Build a better FogBugz" where we discuss in some length its shortcomings for our workflow and how to fix them. It's not exactly an active project, but it will probably be when I get sufficiently fed up, and I would have no problem organizing its development in FogBugz. The point is, if you can't trust the people who are writing your tools, why are you using their tools in the first place?
