If you wanted to reach point A from point B when there is no known path, then evolution is the fastest way to find the path. There is nothing better. It will try all remotely possible paths and discard the bad ones. It will also find the most efficient path. I think evolution is the best way to go for Open Source Software development. Any thing else is wasting time. Resources on the other hand are meant to be wasted, as you couldn't control them anyway.
