Some thoughts…

– An employee only has to report his results to his employer. So, it doesn’t matter if Sam works for Automattic or not. In this context is that bbPress is open source: if you need anything (that can’t be done on a plugin), you are free to fork bbPress and add what you need. It’s just simple as that.

– “code uploads” aren’t needed on a daily basis, specially when you are the only developer.

– If you wanted only Sam to reply, then you should have used a less public medium, don’t you think?
