Good point but the problem is fundamentally fractal. For any project P it will either (a) stagnate, (b) go bazaar, or (c) be split into new sub-projects. Most projects go nowhere, but once a project gains momentum it's going to split into pieces and each piece has a chance of "going bazaar" at each step.
