The perverse incentive in the last point has been bugging for years and it's true of proprietary projects too. As soon as you start selling support as a separate product/service, anything that makes the software easier to use creates a conflict.

Yeah, I fell bad about asking my customers to renew their support contract when they don't send me any support or feature requests during the year.
But they do, so I must be doing something right.
