I think not, beecause the current development team would remain the
guiding team with the main boss you (i guess you are the one who
conceived and guides the idea) and you would decide what would go to
production line. Like all Open Source products. Closed development with
a small team, means much pain and much problems to be solved.

I guess there is no need to point out how successfull large team open
source products are. GCC/MINGW, KDE, Linux, X--Windows, ...
The problem you refer would not exist, since a main approval committee
(the current development team) would exist.
