I am not sure the conclusion is right.
In this case it is more a management issue (and perhaps overconfidence?)
If they had gone in for such a large operation without testing on foss also,
there would've been the same breakdowns. Then I dread to think what the
backlash against foss would've been.
Luckily they chose prop-soft and that has given foss an opening. In their
overconfidence they got into this mess. Next time when they do it on foss
they will take a lot of care... and foss can take the credit!!

best wishes,

Edwin
