Ofcourse when you have a public discussion, many more people are talking
than working. But I think the working people can simply use the good ideas
and leave the bad ideas. After all, the ideas are suggestions rather than
orders.
If you look for example at the Linux kernel, you can see that a public
discussion won't interfere with work being finished.

This is also true for products developed in private. But in that case, very
few people know if the product is never finished.
The public discussion about Uzix did get them permission to use Alex Wulms'
Fast Copy drivers for direct FDC access.

As in "substitute interface name for X", nothing to do with X windows.
