I disagree. Bring back elitism and ivory towers. Some projects now benefit from being run by private cabals with their own strict initiation process, which would also guarantee a baseline of quality.

The bazaar model works if everyone is trusted. If you can’t even be sure the person in front of you is even a human, it is time to pack it up.

Both models can exists?

If elite ivory towers produce working products people will use, great.

Indeed, unfortunately it often is not.
