no, you're quite right.  it's a mixed metaphor.  Cathedral and (Nonconformist) Chapel
would associate properly, or Magisterium and Free Thinker perhaps.
the use of Bazaar is peculiar too; i suspected the author was one of those who
referred to his books as `tomes'.  perhaps he had in mind that it was noisy,
bright and colourful, and if you took something without paying you got your hand chopped off.
no, that can't be right ...

As I'm not any native English speaker, I don't see why Cathedral and Bazaar 
is tied with each other here.  ;_;

If you are not saying the case of limbo and alef, we can put anything to
public, I think.   Judging to incorporate it into the next release is depend
on those who will make distibution.  Even if, unfortunately, it will not be 
incorporated, you can distribute it separately, and others can select what
s/he wants.   I think this is very natural...  I prefer controled distribution
rather than anarchy one, particularly for its core part.

In the case of alef and limbo, it may be difficult to judge, because no one
can live without money today.  ^_^  Of course, I know limbo and alef are
different language each other, though.
