"open isn't a magic bullet" yeah, but closed is a harmful pattern. Open isn't about everything magically getting better, but when you do close development of something that potentially influences billions of people, it's an invitation for disaster. We do not want open because we like open, we want open because we are afraid of closed.

and just to be clear, the least whatever you are doing in a closed format affects people the least i want it to be open.
