Does it? I'm trying to wrap my head around this topic since Nick
mentioned it to me in Hong Kong. I am not sure that companies being
serviced would have an increased incentive to upstream their code.

I'd love to spend more time framing the problem as precisely as we can
before heading down the path to find a solution.

Why are customers of Mirantis, enovance, aptira, etc not willing to pay
them to contribute patches upstream?
