I think it is a problem with any group of more than 100 people that does not have good internal communication tables. I have seen so many times where 3 groups will do exactly the same project but did not communicate it until they were ready to produce it which usually meant that all 3 would then get into a fight about how to do it best... trying to put them onto the same lists usually resulted in the same lovefests that you see when you stick OpenBSD, FreeBSD, and NetBSD people on the same list (or say KDE and Gnome people). Sometimes it works out but the core philosophies/values that some people have are hard to get past.
