this is a bit old, but i thought it to be a great quote by Stefano Mazzocchi about his decision to leave the Apache Cocoon development he created:
“…delegation scales the community and a bigger community means more value, more fun, more positive energy. But delegation happens only if you trust, if you consider your fellow community mate equal to you.
When this doesn’t happen, friction develops, bottlenecks arise, positive energy turns into negative one.
