The problem is, the majority of people are like myself, not intent on disappearing up our own anal passages, but trying to earn the money that feeds our children. "Free software" and "community" are fine concepts, and I will happily encourage them while it does not impact negatively on my ability to pay the bills. Unfortunately, I see your vision as putting programmers out of work at worst, or making them change into lower paid support personnel at best.
All religions should die eventually, even those that limit the scope of their promises.
Perhaps Mr. Stallman would care to contribute an article that addresses how developers get paid for the work that they do?
