So, let me get this straight: you think that one user should pay Red Hat to vet the package for RHEL, and another user should pay to get it into Ubuntu, and another user to get it into SuSE? And then the distros should all pay lawyers to write contracts to make sure that nobody is paying too much for support in the stdlib when they eventually get it in? (Except the customers, of course, everybody will be happy if they pay more than they need to.)

No, I'm arguing that if the concerns you articulate represent a significant number of "corporate* customers (i.e., a "market"), their interests would be better represented by some organization who is paid to reflect them. RHEL and Ubuntu LTS could potentially be contributors to that pool.

I'm mostly arguing the FLOSS project should feel free to ignore high-maintenance-cost commercial concerns until those concerns bring either blook (funded developer time) or treasure (pooled to pay for the same time) to the table to pay for them.
