"Who will babysit the babysitters?"
This will be the problem for ever to tend to..ossification has its advantages..
“Who watch the watchmen ?”
I don’t deny that ossification has its advantage, as somehow for the hobbyist bitcoiner less software changes give more time to read, test and understand them. Somehow, the point of my article is drawing the attention on FOSS domain experts who are under a principal-agent situation who have turn “paid professional” and then who have to justify the financial resources dedicated to pay their salaries, with some incentives misalignment with the end-users. When you start to be paid for doing FOSS software, objectively this becomes a bit less free. And then they can be obviously enticed to make the whole FOSS development pipeline a closed-door to protect their jobs from news FOSS contributors, or even just to surf on the project inertia and make their daily job less demanding.
