Yes, but it is sad that the more straightforward approach of contributing back to the community isn't taking hold.
If you are worried about mission creep... you help stamp out a very clear mission. If you are worried about bloat, you contribute patches. If you are worried about a nasty hairball... you contribute code reviews. If you consider C code less readable than Unix shell... please don't reference the Unix Philosophy as the principle behind that thinking.
