You've been in software for how long? ... ;)  There's quite mixed
experiences with DMS.

    Actually long enough to understand that if someone "big" calls it production quality, we should not be pickier and assume it is --whether it is or not. People will accept it as such, and that's good enough.

Historically the fact that we have been pickier than many of the "someone big":s is exactly how we ended up with the codebase and relative stability we have today.

Just because someone is big doesn't mean they know what's right. In fact, more often than not the opposite turns out to be true.
