Jason touched on that during his opening remarks at sxsw interactive 2006. Which I can't seem to find the podcast for either... He said that instead, they made Basecamp with simple features, then launched and opened the discussion to the community, the same model that Mozilla uses.
I enjoy this process more myself, as it seems to invoke interest, personal ownership, and community synergy.
