Kinda unrelated, but I actually had never thought about doing a "reverse open source" like this, with open development but closed source.

Having worked in strictly open products in the past, there's a lot to be gained having your issue tracker public, and letting anyone interested joining the discussion.

It's not like you are doing military stuff or anything that needs to be that secretive, and if there is something secretive, you can just use another project.

Yup. The value from people being able to make and find feature requests and vote on them far outweigh the value of a "secret roadmap".

We've definitely guided large chunks of our development effort from this issues list.
