The Apache Software Foundation Grows Up

I have to admit that I don't entirely understand the mentality in this article.  Entitled "Apache chokes on open-source philosophy", it seems to insinuate that maturing is synonymous with choking.  Brian Behlendorf is right, volunteers don't like to carry pagers.  One quote from the article that I find odd, is:
Such a comment is likely to leave commercial competitors in fits of laughter.
I doubt they're laughing - Apache is still eating their lunch.  To Brian and the ASF I say kudos.  They have gained enough of my trust and respect that I think they will do the right thing.  They are setting a precedent here and are once again trailblazers.  Someday I hope LQ has to worry about having full-time people.  Apache and the ASF have helped change the world.  In the process of changing the world they themselves have changed, and now they are adapting.
