I hate to be so negative, but when I see D's corporate management 
structure, the lack of community contribution is obvious. It 
doesn't exactly motivate contributions. This is no way to run an 
open source project. I understand that it works well for Facebook 
because everyone on the team is paid six figures, and they can be 
replaced in two hours, but an open source project is not Facebook.

I know the whole argument about why it is that way. That doesn't 
mean it's going to work.
