That would not be my definition of XP. The white book is under revision and
will list a different set of practices. Kent Beck says that the book is
about the same XP, expressed a different way, not a new version of XP.
It seems to me, therefore, that XP is not "a team must follow all
practices in the book to say that they are doing XP".
I think that XP is a much more rich notion than a dozen practices. The
practices frame a good way of starting, but do not express all the things
one might do in a real project.
In any case, looking at those practices, I can see no technical or physical
reason why they cannot be followed on any project. I can think of no
project where their addition wouldn't make things go better. But I am a
bear of very little brain. What non-social (and political) issues do you
see?
