This analogy also means that competition is essential for progress

How do we define "progress"? How do we conclude if OSM today is
"better" than in the past? Are our processes becoming more mature? Is
our data quality improving? Do we have more "customers" than before?
What defined "goals" have we achieved?
I have not defined progress and don't need to for the argument i made.
It applies for any definition of progress you might have. Or in other
words: Here it just means the opposite of stagnation.
Stagnation is exactly where we are heading, isn't it?
With the passion shown on some subjects, I'd say OSM is very far from
'stagnation'. :)
To me a stagnant pool is one with no life in it, no movement.
The OSM pool has ripples and waves of different opinions some of them
clash and make turbulence. There is life in the OSM pool.
