You can't force developers to fix bug either. But if they didn't, they would 
be considered pretty useless.

Yes, that's about _TWO_ text editors. Not _FOUR_.

If there were four text editors in CVS, people would no doubt complain. If 
there was only two CD burning apps in CVS, although many people wouldn't like 
it, they probably wouldn't object too much.

Two is getting OTT, four is just ridiculous IMHO.
