[ros-kernel] $$$ Bountys on ReactOS development - 0.2 Relase

[Jeff Smith]

Only thing I'm worried about is
3. ReactOS project members vote on the bug and a bounty is issued for
like $250 to $500 US.

it might slow down developement I fear that developers might want to make 
some more money or something, and  will refuse to work on XXX bug until 
there is a bounty for that bug.
I realise that the programmers we have now aren't like that but in the 
future, it may end up causing trouble, and if my fears are misplaced, let me 
know. but I also see it helping the system by giving the programmers 
motivation to fix that bug, so I don't know what to do about that.

other then that I love the idea, it sounds great, and I'd love to see it 
come together
