Small is beautiful. The attraction for Plan9 is its consistency and size. As far as I'm concerned, the current organization is not a drawback from contributing more---time is. Another organization will not offer, for me, more opportunity to contribute. When I have something to contribute (and for now, this is only user level kerTeX), nothing impeds me from doing. This is for user level. For kernel, the problems may be more involved. But clearly, the number of persons able to contribute is far more limited. And consistency shall be the primary aim. So an organization good for a "small team" is an organization good for kernel level.
