I had another nice point-for-point rebuttal all prepared and ready to
send when it occured to me that maybe the readers of -hackers would
really rather prefer that we all get back to the technical issues at
hand, so in the interests of noise reduction I'll therefore blink
first and swallow my reply.

All I can say in a guiltlessly short paragraph is that shaking the
tree is fun, but rarely do only the bad fruit fall out of it as a
result, and tree-shaking as a general management technique leaves much
to be desired in any case since it seems that every budding management
consultant has a long set of reasons why Your Organizational Structure
is always drawn in the box with little smell rays coming from it and
His Organization Structure has a little halo drawn over it.  At the
end of the day it's just all a lot of sound and fury, signifying
nothing.
