Possibly. The problem is, for some designs to really work, you need someone at the helm not only incorporating the good ideas, but also saying NO to anything that does not fit the vision. (iPhone etc comes to mind.)

Many open source projects and commercial projects too tend to be much more inclusive in what they pick. The end result often becomes something like when Homer Simpson designed a car. Oh that's neat! [1]
