>development projects being run by end users.

As I was reading about how these firms want some control or influence over
the process, my thought was why don't they hire a kernel hacker?

Or to broach a rather explosive subject, propose 6-7 digit bonuses to anyone
submitting a patch that solves their problem?

Do they think we don't like eating? I'm sure that even corbet would accept
some of their filthy lucre.

I think that that was the point to the majority of the article... that they
are learning to trust the process and are looking at ways to participate. It
takes years and years for people to change their outlook on software and how
to run things.
