I'd turn it around:

Either users put up with the fact that developers won't obey your demands, 
aren't interested in the Grand Beauty of your scrap-it-all idea and just 
want what already works, or you look for another project to use, like the 
Hurd or something.

Developers being volunteers doesn't give them a responsibility to do 
whatever you say.

You want market-driven, go join up with SuSE.
