There is merit (hah, hah) in such a system, and I understand the viewpoint -- myself, I use a mixture of FOSS and proprietary software at work in order to Get Things Done(R), so I'm not really opposed to the idea, and I'd be one of the people putting the system in place so I'd fit in to the meritocracy. That all said...realistically, given those in the community, we would literally see committers jump ship from KDE if we went down this path. We'd also take a continual beating from other FOSS projects and FOSS press, have endless arguments on mailing lists, have the Board (almost certainly) outright reject any funding for such projects, and either split the KDE community or have the effort be marginalized. --Jeff
