+1 gpatrick.  

Some here unfortunately have minimal understanding or experience with real open 
source projects.  Would you want to host your website on an "experimental" 
apache web server?  Or run your DB on an experimental PostgreSQL?  How about an 
"experimental" reference Tomcat servlet engine?  Or an experimental Postfix, 
Exim, or Sendmail MTA?  Or "experimental" Cyrus or Dovecot IMAP server?  For 
even more fun, how about sporting "experimental" versions of Perl, Python, etc. 
on your awesome commerical Solaris box?  Now that should be really fun.  Are 
you starting to get it now?  Some of the best and most widely deployed software 
in the world became such via true open source development models.  Not these 
undercut, commercial sleight of hand "open core" bastardizations we've been 
hearing about as of late from the marketing arms of predatory commercial 
outfits such as Oracle.
