Kinda just what happens, when you put a bunch of unpaid, sleep-deprived,
anal-retentive engineers in a virtual project room and set them all
about trying to create stuff by tearing apart each others' work products
and rebuilding them to be "better".
Open source seems to arrive at consensus by means of a process something
like:
whiny trolling ->
unfettered troll-feeding ->
hyperbolic butt-hurt ->
(optional) finger-pointing and self-pity ->
reluctant compromise ->
write code -> (repeat)
Think of the above as the Open-Source equivalent of the Rational Unified
Process :)
