First, OLPC needs:
1) Functional, adaptive management,
2) a viable business plan, and
3) money for operations and development.

If that doesn't happen...well, you know the rest of the story.

The conversation is getting esoteric.

This is where the rubber meets the road:

This is a bit cryptic... would you elaborate?

In my mind the sect mentality and practices of the open source community (what a contradiction in terms...), coupled with the "itch and scratch" approach when open heart surgery is needed (and thus will ends up with a corp that is also ugly because of the scratch-generated skin tears) is a problem!

Are you referring to that?
