I'm not sure I would completely agree.  I think it's largely a critical mass 
issue.  I used to be moderately involved in a few of the FreeBSD mailing lists, 
for example, and the _proportions_ of people playing the various roles are 
about the same, but the communities differ in size by probably a couple of 
orders of magnitude.  If we were the size of FreeBSD, we'd have 10 Pascals, and 
we'd be rocking.
