Unfortunately, humans are assholes who innately seek out an Us vs. Them to belong to and oppose, so that doesn't change the fact that without forcing it there will be excluded groups based on criteria other than competence. The real problem is ensuring that the criteria for inclusion are competence based, not just drawing a different set of arbitrary lines for in-group and out-group to give a new set of bastards their turn stomping down at the top of the heap.
