Indeed. However, I think it will be interesting to see how things
develop, if this will be the case in the future too. The Linux kernel,
and a few other projects were probably decentralized from start by
necessity, filling very different purposes. However, new tools tends
to affect models, which might make it a bit more common in the future.
In any case, it's an interesting time to do software development.
