The trick is defining "high" :)

Open source doesn't define barriers to entry. Some open source projects
have "higher" barriers than PHP, but that doesn't make then
less "open source" than PHP. And no barrier would lead, I'm
willing to beat, to totally confusion. So you need "some" barrier.

Generally, we are talking mostly about a QA process. Can we maintain
QA control over PHP with the current setup? I'm not qualified
to answer that, but in a netshell that's the deal.
