Greetings

Some time ago, I came across a paper describing in great detail the FreeBSD 
Development Process and software lifecycle.  I'm having trouble locating it now, 
and was wondering if anyone could throw me a pointer.  It's not any of the 
standard /usr/share/doc or website releng stuff.  I remember it talking at 
length about the way releases evolve WRT cvs tagging ...

The paper at http://www.ruc.dk/~nielsj/research/papers/freebsd.pdf (Putting it 
All in the Trunk: Incremental Software Development in the FreeBSD Open Source 
Project) seems close to the paper I'm looking for, but the one I want was more 
focused on an analysis of the development model and wasn't based on a survey of 
committers.

Does this ring a bell with anybody?
