Which platform: Cathedral or open source?

,----[ Quote ]
| "Bazaar," or open source software, is created more independently. Building
| upon a basic kernel, independent developers improve functionality or fix bugs
| as they see a need. It's basically crowdsourcing for software. Well-known
| examples include Linux and Apache. But not Firefox or Eclipse -- while many
| people assume that they follow the Bazaar model, there's more to it than
| that, as we'll shortly see.

Ubuntu creator wants to squash 'upstream' bugs

,----[ Quote ]
| The founder of the Ubuntu open-source operating system, Mark Shuttleworth,
| has called for Ubuntu developers to fix all software flaws found in the
| operating system, including, crucially, those in inherited source code.
|
| Shuttleworth, who runs Ubuntu's commercial arm, Canonical, said that most
| users expect developers of open-source distributions to fix bugs affecting
| the operating systems, even if the flaws were introduced in groups of files
| developed by other coders. Such groups of files are often referred to
| as 'upstream' source code.
