He seems to have identified legitimate problems, but attributing them to the bazaar model seems to be entirely unsupported. In fact, half of the things he talks about were screwed up in the cathedral era and the bazaar just hasn't touched them. Unless, of course, he considers the UNIX diaspora (*BSD, HP/UX, Aix, Solaris, etc) to be part of the Bazaar, which might be a bit accurate. But even there, the lesson would really be: before the bazaar was recognized as a real model, it was actually used, but really badly.
