Bazaar is what happens when you design by a committee. Sometimes it just so happen that the project is small and the only committee members are rocket scientists and the project is about building a new rocket and painting it black. Having worked on a project like that, I can assure you it is an absolute beauty. The code that those guys shipped has been running in production on hundreds of millions of systems for nearly twenty years. It just works.

In the other cases, however, it is a project to build a new car with new kind of square wheels because committee is a band of people who have some members that have never seen a car, some members that think it should go on tracks of Japan, some members that just like coloring spreadsheets, some members that wandered in directly from a bar after a happy hour.

Most of bazaar projects are the 2nd, not the first.
