Q: How many open source developers does it take to change a light bulb?
A: Seventeen -- seventeen to argue about the license; seventeen to argue about the brain-deadedness of the light bulb architecture; seventeen to argue about a new model that encompasses all models of illumination and makes it simple to replace candles, campfires, pilot lights, and skylights with the same easy-to-extend mechanism; seventeen to speculate about the secretive industrial conspiracy that ensures that light bulbs will burn out frequently; one to finally change the light bulb, and sixteen who decide that this solution is good enough for the time being.
