That&#x27;s a very valid approach.<p>OpenBSD has been like this since it&#x27;s very turbulent beginnings. For better or worse they prefer it this way (and it&#x27;s bolstered by the lists having a famously high signal to noise ratio).<p>For a team of their size with the resources available to them they&#x27;ve achived a huge amount of success.<p>(Debates about whether they&#x27;d have larger success if they did a bit more of what they would call hand holding are also valid.)
