Mark's vision, as far as I understand it, is that bug tracking needs to
be far more integrated than it is today.
So what he wants is a bug tracker that can be seamlessly integrated with
other bug trackers, including other instances of itself. Releasing a
version of Launchpad into the wild (so to speak) that can't do that yet
would defeat this purpose.
My undrstanding is that LP will become open, or at least more open,
once that is in place.
