Great piece, and the piece linked within it has a quote that perfectly sums it up:
Open source is a licensing and delivery mechanism, period.
The only thing that I do think is left out of both pieces is acknowledging that feedback itself can be useful (or even vital) to the platform, and that's the tension. You need to create a mechanism for feedback to be heard (and to be listened to, which isn't the same thing) while managing expectations around that. I don't envy developers.
