what's the takeaway? i read the article twice and came away with yes... tradition, keeping things the way they are and have been, together with slow decision making, all good? but got to the end and thought, okay. where's the controversy? i agree with all of the above, particularly when you are building systems, oss or not, that other users have to, choose to, want to depend on. so the author's grip is with what? the newcomers??? please explain cuz i feel like i am missing something here.
