>  Why is this controversial?

Because you're missing the point, and arguing against a position nobody =
holds.

Absolutely nobody here is suggesting that everyone going off and doing =
their own thing and keeping the results to themselves is better than =
everyone going off and doing their own thing and releasing the results.

What some folks are suggesting is that some coordination would yield =
better results; that we can do better than the "everyone going off and =
doing their own thing" part of the above scenarios.

I believe Erik's point about "falling into disrepair" is that if =
everyone is spending time fixing the same issues, each on their own =
without any coordination, is that the resulting system will increasingly =
fail to keep up with the evolution of the surrounding world. Even if the =
code for all the parts I need to drive exist, that's not the same as =
having a running system.
