Priorities are understandable, but I meant the boredom argument, 
which I usually hear:

If the objective is to get thing done, then even if code is 
horrible, it's worth to share, because it gets thing done. This 
is also the reason for commercial open source: they free each 
other from the nightmare of software development by sharing the 
source. It's understandable why one doesn't want to see this 
nightmare second time.
