Hey, no insult was implied and as a Software Engineer myself I know two
things -

1. Management are not only frequently wrong, but often difficult to persuade
otherwise
2. If I'm given a free reign I'll go for stuff I'm interested in a find
stimulating

My point is (and I hope I haven't missed the point of your comment when
stating this) that there doesn't seem to have been a consistent set of goals
or direction from the OM management or any particular focus (bar "Back to
Basics") to get the kernel and basic userspace functioning reliably, and
there does seem to have been a tendency to reinvent the wheel. And the
keyboard, the package manager....
