I think you're overestimating the power of the Foundation board of
directors over the "open source projects". The current proposal sets up
a separate and independent technical committee, which I'm trying to make
sure is fully elected on a one contributor = one vote basis. Each
project is lead by a technical lead that is elected on a one author =
one vote basis. Those groups very much set the course and direction for
the projects.

So the technical direction of OpenStack as a whole, and the technical
direction of each project, is very much *not* pay-to-play. It's
participate-to-play.
