They are tools which you need a lot of infrastructure set up and running, and a strong commitment of time and effort to keep running. Once you set it up beyond the base example version every website says you can do, you find that more and more staff and time are devoted to keeping it going.. just like the Fedora Build System and all its related tools take up a lot of time, effort, and money. When you try to run these in parallel or in 'spare time' you end up with the main 'product' slowing down, and the others ones getting stretched out because the amount of time you can put towards it eats into the main product. So it becomes very compelling to let a company that is dedicated to running the complex tool to do so. > -- > John M.
