Different operating model than the ones I'm thinking of. Things like
zmanda as pointed out where the commercial version will get features or
other items not yet present in the community edition.
Groundwork monitor seems to follow a similiar model.
It's more appropriate to new features, but thats where your bugs tend to
come from.
And you're not exactly right.
Spacewalk was just born from satellite. The open source version lagged by
years.
Similiar story with GFS, directory server, etc. The features went in the
commercial product first. Only later were they opened up. If you
consider them as addons to redhat, it makes the story similiar there.
The "Core" would lag, but the add ons bolted on would lead. Those addons
will be the things with bugs.
Luke has expressed a disinterest in this model though so it's largely
irrelevant.
