This is an admirable project, and I one I support. However, it's important to note that '''the issue with open source in an enterprise environment, is that there is no one to blame when things, inevitably, break or are misconfigured. The blame falls on only you, not a vendor.'''

Literally the reason my former VP of IT gave me that the CEO gave him.

Commercial support exists for opensource too so its just a misunderstanding of it.

Commercial enterprise support is usually in the form of a vendor support contract, which gives the corpo someone to blame.

That is a value as well. But also support from people already actively contributing to the project can be very helpful as well

Very true. And I am not pretending it's not. I was mostly venting my experience (and frustration) regarding enterprise environments.
