I strongly recognize both that I share the "community-centric view" and that I disagree with the "maintainer view"https://medium.com/@mikeal/maintainer-vs-community-97edc28387ad …

There is a lot of dysfunction to unpack in the maintainer view. And for-profit companies should always be a third actor in the discourse.

Basically unless the discourse becomes more nuanced, I don't expect much to happen here.

There are some projects that operate largely using the community POV (Rust, Ember are two I'm involved in). That's important, I think.

Sure. I'm not making any value judgments. In this dichotomy, I prefer the community view. But doesn't necessarily address sustainability.

Interesting. I agree with the for-profit corporation point. I find the maintainer view to be fundamentally incompatible with sustainability.

Me too, the maintainer view is like a worst case scenario of "sunk cost fallacy." As adoption increases the situation can only get worse.

Yeah I'm suggesting the only reason anybody subscribes to the maintainer view is dysfunction. Misaligned incentives.
