I think that you're confusing people. «The Cathedral and The Buzzword» was
written by ESR. Linus didn't start the Bazaar theory: ESR came up with

Linux kernel project epitomises "Bazaar"-style of development, it was
simply an early example of very distributed development. You can't take
that and judge it by rules that it doesn't try to follow in a game that it
doesn't try to play.
Real bazaars are more like shopping centres than like that kumbaya idea of

Perhaps we could have a walk together to Marché Jean-Talon and contemplate
how much of it can be called a Bazaar and then ask the commerçants one by
