While I admit I won't watch these guys based on my personal history
with them, I am not an advocate of mass standardization. One of the
reasons the open source world thrives and innovates is the lack of
constraints. You have a good idea, run with it and prove it. If you
do, people will start using it and we all benefit from the innovation.
The competition of ideas and the ability to create your own small
experiment and watch it grow is a good environment for us to work in.
It does create some mayhem, but I believe the advantages far outweigh
the disadvantages.
