Cathedral : n.,adj. [see bazaar for derivation] The `classical' mode of
software engineering long thought to be necessarily implied by Brooks's
Law. Features small teams, tight project control, and long release
intervals. This term came into use after analysis of the Linux

incomplete) in the classical assumptions.
