Yes! That's a good idea, feature and customization based Pricing. Just imagine Linus would be such a winy Rumpelstiltskin...well he is, but not a winy one ;)

BTW: Whats with the 211 others that help him?

The person who does the work gets paid. Each feature request could have a optional bounty against it.

If they're doing work for their own enjoyment, why should they complain?
