Not a talking point, we just have a lot of conversations about this at the office :)

The diminutive "little pet" prefix at one point applied to: linux kernel, kde, gnome, jquery, prototype.js, node.js, ruby, &etc. Your dismissal of small, young projects is akin to saying "Don't start a startup, just join a big business!"

You're calling out to people in the Bazaar and asking them to join your Cathedral. Good luck!
