There's some caveats with this:
1) What does "write the code" mean? What is the threshold when I can take over a project?
2) With a bigger user-base there is also bigger responsibility. So things are a bit different than
15 years ago.
3) PHP used to be more like Linus' "WE DO NOT BREAK USERSPACE!" ("...without
*major* benefit" in the PHP case) and I wonder when we abandoned this maxim.
