This is a wonderful video! Thank you for this. I plan on showing this to key developers in my projects community and implement a lot of these ideas. Thanks again.

The bald guy seems like a total cut-throat douche bag. These people with jobs don't have time to follow the log message specifications because they're working on something that they probably have no interest in whatsoever. OTOH, the unpaid volunteers, which probably have very little to do outside the project, are doing something they like doing so they do so with no complaints. It's really nice of them to stultify paid developers when they really have no idea about their current workload.

Even if it wasn't, Google owns YouTube so they can remove any and all restrictions.

> Except that many open source projects that are managed this way, do have a working product to show for it.
I didn't say anything about it breaking projects.

> And if you think you know better, fork it.
I don't believe they released their talk as open source. I couldn't care less what they do with their own projects (I'm moving away from svn as my tool of choice), my problem was with what they are instructing other products to do.
