Well, OK, I do have one idea:

I think that 95% of the infrastructure of a typical enterprise (source control, continuous integration, (separate) staff and user authentication, cluster management, monitoring, reporting, hosting, legal entity creation, internationalization, payments) should be (and in many cases, already is) standardized, automated and plug-and-play.

Provide that all in a free and open source manner as a complete (and completely tunable) framework, and we'll see truly democratic dynamic innovation.

If it goes well enough (in a Cambrian kind of acceleration), then I think that authentication and access control could be removed entirely. People would keep the services that they want running, running.
