I did not mention commercial developments.
Not with similar trend it is a lot of commercial projects.
I do not use commercial programs!
(Ah, certainly, my the first Unix was the piracy copy stolen by
technical spies of my former socialist country. :))

I too try to participate in this project in the free time.

Development of any projects without discussion has resulted
to that we now have. 
Overchange up to impossibility libc, incompatible solutions and so on.

For example, I at all do not understand, why in the current project
is used not compatible on style of calls with standard NSS the library,
and even in native projects (busybox, tynylogin, netkit-tiny),
specially copied emulation with editing the source text of utilities.
It is very strange. Of answers to my questions I also had an opinion
about authoritarian mantainers.
