The critique of Alex's contribution is certainly well intended, but its also kind of odd. Why should the critic complain that there is not enough planning and then go on to say that Alex's impl cannot be differentiated from the Sun impl? If it cannot be differentiated, then what prior planning is necessary?
IMO the critique does not say this. It states that the final result should not be differentiatable from Sun's implementation, and that the achivement of that objective represents a sizable effort in delivery and maintenance. The critique raises some valid questions concerning that criteria and its implications on this project.
