Boosters, FreeBSD hackers, and I'm sure tons of others are calling this the "Bicycle shed effect." <http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/misc.html#BIKESHED-PAINTING> I agree. Preliminary discussion is hugely more vulnerable to bicycle shed color disagreements, where participants may feel that all of the colors have not been completely examined, compared to tested working code, where others will have more confidence that due diligence has been applied. In all of the open source world I have seen, posting code is always better. Aaron W. LaFramboise
