I'm not sure that can be completely avoided. "The Cathedral and the
Bazaar" doesn't replace "The Mythical Man Month", it supplements it.
As I recall, development has an exponential communications cost as the
group size increases, while testing is highly parallelizable.
In other words, I think we need a small "danger team" to go in and put
on the last few bits of spit and polish we need for release.
