landomata,
I am assuming core developers have their millions of NXT and will happily continue adding cool core features. However a core feature usually needs a bit of extra to make it maximize transaction fees.
If people think wesleyh is being overcompensated by his earning thousands of NXT per <Tbd> then others will figure out how to monetize the alias feature too. The dev team will be happy that people are using NXT to make NXT more valuable, since they presumably have a lot of NXT. Let's say we end up with half a dozen key contributors to alias monetization and a dozen supporting contributors, as just arbitrarily say all key contributors deserver equal share and all supporting contributors deserve equal shre and supporting role is worth one quarter a key role.
We would have 6 + 3 = 9 total shares, which each of the half dozen key contributors getting 1/9th the alias group's allocation and the dozen supporting people would get 1/36th.
I made up half dozen, dozen and 4:1 ratio. Each specific company will probably have different number of participants and ratios. The important concept here is that if a certain core feature has a lot of potential and a person is clever enough to unlock it with additional work, then that person gets a windfall. Other people notice that and come up with additional ways until it gets to a point of diminishing returns and new untapped core features gets developed.
Decentralized, self-selectred parallel development with profit motive.
I think it makes sense and the best part is that almost all of it is based on math that can't be argued with. The only thing that is up for debate is a person's membership in a group. I can see an odd numbered council of CfB, jean-luc, etc. to decide on this issue if there is any controversy. I don't imagine we would get too many controversies as a person's contribution needs to be tied directly to generating transaction fees from a core feature.

Dear James,
Sorry....the infrastructure/feature builders won't necessarily be the current core dev team but any developer anywhere in the world who wants to implement a fundamental feature inside the Nxt ecosystem not yet imagined by any of us.
EDIT: After which specialized companies based on your above line of reason would develop these new fundamental features further to the point of diminishing returns.
lets take wesleyh for example....he did not develop the fundamental feature called Alias System....so he was not the source of the new fee revenue stream...but he did extend the feature to new levels of functionality.
