LPC: Development model diversity

Yes, it was a humorous turn of phrase, following on after descriptions of other important things like "planning == perfectly predicting the future" and "testing == reveals no bugs, because there are none, and guarantees perfection because the tests are perfectly comprehensive". I happen to be a fan of agile, and two of my best friends wrote "The Art of Agile Development", which I highly recommend. I'd say FLOSS projects are inspired by the principles of agile, and that agile was inspired by the principles of FLOSS projects.
