Exactly. The more 'fragmented' a project is into sub-projects, without a single, unified, functional reference implementation in the center of it, the longer it takes to fix 'unsexy' problems like trivial usability bugs. Furthermore, another negative effect is that many times features are implemented not in their technically best way, but in a way to keep them local to the project that originates them. This is done to keep deployment latencies and general contribution overhead down to a minimum. The moment you have to work with yet another project, the overhead adds up. So developers rather go for the quicker (yet inferior) hack within the sub-project they have best access to. Tell me this isnt happening in this space ;-) Thanks, Ingo -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
