If they're such experts then they'll be getting paid for their work. It's mostly unskilled amateurs and jobless layabouts that work on open source software.

How can I trust these people to do a good job when they're not even getting paid for their work? Anyone who calls themselves a "hacker" is probably going to backdoor the software at some point anyway.
