I'll just say that it's a dangerous belief that does not drive one to
actually make things work should the belief happen to not be quite true.
But this is probably the wrong mailing list for the topic.

I agree. Though I do want to point out that there is a distinction
between The Globus Toolkit and dev.globus.org, and that I myself got
complaints about the latter which amounted to annoyances toward the fact
that fairly senior project managers were being treated like children in
the interest of a uniformity that proved to be largely irrelevant.

But this is also a subject that probably doesn't belong on this mailing
list.
