Sometimes a tool that is built to handle more volume than it gets to
handle in a situation is perfectly suited for the job. This varies
from "a <insert expensive pro-brand here> hand-drill", which is used
in a low-volume hobby environment. Works just fine. Similarly the
Apache web server is built for high-volume webservers, but works
just fine for a small one as well.
On the other hand, some tools are NOT suited in the smaller
setting. For instance the cadence electronics design suite has such a
steep learning curve that it is unusable except for in a professional
40hrs a week setting.
So the declaration of the manufacturer that it is able to handle high
(change-) volumes does not count as a negative sign in my book.
It could mean that it's easy to use, even when lots of changes are
involved. So a low time-investment for each single change. This is
good for an open source project.
It could also mean that for a professional working with it 40hrs a
week after some training it becomes low-time-investment for each
change. Not useable for our open-source project.
In short: Nothing can be deduced from such a simple vendor-declaration.
Roger.

The plan was simple, like my brother-in-law Phil. But unlike
