The entire point of open source bazaars is they kickass on large cathedrals[1].
Open source is not just about source code being shared. It is a gift culture of sharing[2].

Cathedrals and bazaars are mutually supportive, not antagonistic. Each is well suited for its respective purposes in a positive-sum economy.
One interesting thing about the myth of Ceridwen's magic cauldron is its synchronicity with the peddler's iron cauldron in the stone soup fable.
