No, it means the spec is a description of how things are, not how |
| 17 |
people want them to be. |

| Well, it seems that many devs believe there is something wrong in the |
| 23 |
| way PMS is conducted. Their observation isn't based on the result |
| 24 |
| itself, but on the status (or rather non-status) and behavior of some |
| 25 |
| of the project members. Some, even, question the intentions. The noise |
| 26 |
| you hear is the alarm that's ringing. |
| 27 |

It seems that some devs don't have a clue what they're on about or |
| 29 |
what's going on, and it strikes me as better that they remain |
| 30 |
uninvolved. |
