IMHO, open source projects don't have a business side.

Opensource projects exist for the developers to get the software they need, 
faster, through colaboration with others. If anyone else finds it usefull 
that's an added bonus. But if no one other than the devs use it themselves, 
the project has fullfilled it's purpose.

Adding business value is the job of the distros, or Apple if they include 
it, or myself as an ISP. That's why I said before I think the real let-down 
here are the distros that didn't do anything about it.

Extreme ? Maybe, but that's why I use open-source, for getting best of 
breed, newest, breaking with history when needed.
