Thank you Richard for your work.  

Be careful what you wish for.  How many levels of management do you
want? How many project estimates do you want to do?  How much time do
you  want to spend explaining to * levels what it is you want to do, and
justifying it (explain for instance WHAT IS A COMPILER? and where do you
bolt it ON? before you proceed).

 I didn't mean to imply that all management is bad.  Certainly not. 
 The problem is that there are a LOT of people who want to be managers
and they all need a technical type i.e. donkey to justify it.  Once this
stuff starts it is VERY HARD TO STOP IT.  Linux/GNU is a juicy excuse
for bureacracy. When it happens it could kill it.   The saving grace
may be there not a lot of money in it.

I don't think you want a central management group.  You want a 
central TECHNICAL group.
