I don't think Linus's law applies here, since that's with areas like programming where a) the eyeballs are experts and b) it is close unambiguous once a bug has been found that it is a bug.

Also, wouldn't you guess that there'd be less demand fluctuations with the public than with presidents or congress? The public really doesn't switch back and forth between conservative and liberal like presidents and congress do.

This is a really good point and seems like the strongest argument for your proposal.
