This is, perhaps, a canonical example of how management's attempt to monetize an open source project will cause sub-optimal results both in code quality and profits. New features should be developed and tested in an open version, so the feedback, testing, patches and even unexpected new improvements from high skilled enthusiasts would be incorporated much more quickly than any closed team with QA (look at the Linux kernel). We have seen too many examples of "acquiring" open source projects to monetize on its user base (how I hate that idiotic MBA slang) which then became stagnant - from MySQL to Xen, you name it. I wonder what mr. Sysoev is writing these days?)
