That is saying to anyone who wants to do a similar experiment in the future that they need at least two redundant systems. I believe that is quite a valuable lesson. Concerning the OCXO, one has to bear in mind that this experiment was not meant to measure time of flight, but rather neutrino oscillations. The message for me here is that it's good to publish all your designs, including gateware sources, as soon as possible, but I don't know how compatible that is with today's highly competitive scientific world. So I think there is an important lesson behind each one of the two issues. Of course this is easy to see from outside and after the fact.
