Apology for sidetracking the topic a bit.  While we encourage our engineers
to embrace community and open source, I think we didn't do a good job to
actually emphasize that.  'Time To Market' is another factor, usually a
feature requirement becomes deployed service in 2,3 sprint (4~6 weeks), but
you know how much can be done in same amount of time in community,
especially with Nova. :)
