I hope so too. OTOH, some of the same goal and process differences that are responsible for some of Linux's relative strengths may also have played a part in those areas where it's relatively weak, and I think those already here might like to reduce barriers and adopt some of its strong points while preserving our own strengths (which include backwards compatibility).
