It's a positive and a negative. It makes people less happy, sure. But it's also the reason why German machinery has the good reputation it has. Because even if it works pretty great already, somebody will find a detail to "co

Interesting, how many negative comments this gets. People seem to love monoculture run by committees. This is exactly what OSS is all about. Take a code base and develop it into different directions. Both code and organization. And "na

My guess would be that most of them were. Not just by the tribe for the anti-social aspect, but by its leader for the threat to his power.
