@devlead @ICooper Even with OSS with agentic contributions, those projects have established road maps and a context (including ADRs) built on experience and tacit knowledge. I've seen teams skip OSS and "write their own" prior to AI with expensive results. It will be the same with OSS. Even with agentic contributions quality OSS takes human participation and maintenance.
