The difference between having a small group of core developers who are all 
communicating with one another lead by a single individual (Linux kernel) and a 
community of tens of thousands, maybe millions, of contributors with a 
multitude of different communication channels and with no single leader (OSM). 
Changing core features/functionality in the former is much easier than in the 
later.
