I think the reason open-source projects aren't great at churning out products
(or "finishing" them, as you so astutely word it—in the sense of "polishing")
is that the things that are interesting to work on are orthogonal to the
things that make a good product.

The advantage a hierarchal organization brings to product creation is focus.
It's what I enjoy about Apple: sometimes their products aren't for me, but
they're always *coherent*. I can see what they were going for. The Apple suite
of apps are clearly the best browser, calendar, and mailer for Steve Jobs.

Of rooms in which there were ever 2 people simultaneously, here are the
furthest states reached by the link-clicker.

We'll have state info for the built-in client starting in v40. "Further"
states are toward the bottom of the histograms. Histograms are out of scale
with each other.
