In a fully open source project (such as some of the software development
I am involved with) I assume the patent trolls are not able to jump in
on the stuff that is published. I assume the danger is that they take
the open source info and patent some/all of the as yet unpublished
extensions, which will include extensions that are of value even if they
dont fully know which ones they are.

can be a necessary evil - if only to keep patent trolls from jumping
in and obtaining one first.
