Pardon my ignorance, but what's the point of a discussion forum if anyone that disagrees with you is considered a troll? I've seen one attack on the author, it was a mild one at best. The issue most of are refuting is the "better way" conclusion. Who would opening IOS be better for? And where is the proof that IOS would be better off if it were open? Cisco has a lot of well-paid highly skilled people working on IOS. How much would "the community" really be able to contribute? Yeah, maybe someone will catch something, but the fact is, most people wouldn't enhance the codebase -- they'd just have gotten IOS for free.
