No, by "professional" I mean "of a profession," which is a service
that is provided by experts to laymen, and therefore demands adherence
to certain standards since the clients are not able to judge the
product for themselves, but in general must trust the vendor.  The
care and good quality proceed from the commitment of the professional.

Open source is not a substitute for professionalism.
