Why would anyone listen to this guy?  I ran engineering at BitMover for 
18 years, yeah, you need a bug tracker.  If for no other reason than to
track the churn rate.  HP-UX used that metric to decide when to land the
plane.

You need to realize that schedules are a rough idea, but you absolutely
need them, people work better towards a goal.

This guy sounds like he hasn't worked on anything other than small
user space programs.
