ummm look at most major label releases, a lot of nepotism no?
Bigger names sell more records, hence why Mills records on React and not Steve Bicknell, or why Marco Bailey records on Primate and not Tim Baker. If someone's tracks are up to it and they send them to the right people, they will get released eventually; and if Liebing wants to put out a Picotto mix or indeed Burkat a Klein mix then that's their business. The elitist/"You scratch my back" thing is rife to a degree in techno, but it's not a big issue as far as I can see. Who are the people that are being really affected by this or being kept out? There's no-one being really hard done by in this at all. Let the good music just stand up and be counted, as all this techno equality politics and propaganda is a load of shite and a waste of energy.
