I can't speak for others, but I have to say that the idea of having
paid developers without a space for them to work together in person
is very unrealistic.
In the past all paid developers worked remotely (at least, not in the
same office as one another), and there still are paid developers who
work remotely. Additionally, all volunteers work remotely. Based on my
experience with MediaWiki I would say that development in the past was
significantly more efficient and community involved than it is currently.
I can understand how this suggestion in particular might not be
entirely realistic, but it is only one of the suggestions that have been
put forward and regardless of whether it is taken as a whole has some
amount of merit in the context of this discussion.
