    already done, so big project so even development area for that one project is split into 4+ areas so one developer should not be able to crash the whole system for all developers. still one developer can still do so much damage that when one group of 10+ developers are sitting around doing nothing because a screwup one of them did, it still cost a lot of money.

    plus the fact that developers are going to cause less harm than average users

    As a developer and former sysadmin. I think are wrong there, I know that if I have a bad day at work and don't think one extra time before pressing enter och commiting I could wreck a much bigger havoc compared to a normal user that uses some gui that ask "are you sure" and they would not even think of doing some of the things I may do because they do not have the same know how. I think as a developer and sysadmin that developers are the most dangerous people to have running around with more privileges than needed. A developer that whips together a bash script for fast fix ending up in "rm -rf /"

    avoid doing anything in mantis,it is somewhat usable if you use it from emacs with w3m plugin, IMO the interface is horrible. mantis is very flexible and you can add fields as you need them, and that is one of it's problem. I think we have some people that have added fields to left and right. so much of my problems with mantis may be around the process we have and not mantis as a tool, except the interface, it is horrible

    free market

    I am so sick and tired of hearing that as if it was supposed to be the solution to all problems. first Nintendo has "ramped up" production more than you could demand of them, getting the whole supply chain to "ramp up" production is not easy. Second the free market is handling the demand, becuse of free market you can find them on ebay for twice as much. And in america there may be a shortage becuse of the dollar's low value but nothing is stopping you from importing from EU.
