I like this suggestion. I worry about a trend I'm seeing, with more and
more people keen to replace existing code with their own virgin code
which hasn't had any serious field time behind it.

This seems like a very Linuxy development trend. It's the way the Bazaar
works, but not in a Cathedral. Rather, you have a look at what's already
there and try to work on it. You don't start your own wing a few feet
from the Cathedral in the hopes that someone will bash down a similar
wing elsewhere and join yours to the main building.

Waffle waffle.
