In an ideal world (which, in case you don't know; this is not)
an Open Source project should be 100% open; meaning we can
edit everything . . .

. . . However, as Chairman Mao discovered, once he allowed criticism
he opened a great big can of worms, and we all know how that ended . . .

The problem has to be, if universal editability is implemented, how
everything is collated and which edits take precedence over which edits:

unless, of course, we are going to end up with 500 variant versions of
LiveCode Open Source; resulting in such a web of confusion that there
will be no real benefit at all; quite the reverse in fact.
