I think that the BDFL system work in open source because it's too easy to fork the project. The old BDFL just transferred the power to a new BDFL, but it was not so clear for the community. There is a fork now, so if the situation doesn't improve and the users are unhappy, the Kite team will be the BDFL of an empty project without users.
