...software developer keep two? versions of everything ?
<<MIGHT this have happened on the Collins (elevator?) project ?
On the first day, at the integration and test site someone sent an email saying "A tight configuration system is unlikely to be successful".
Whatever the merits or demerits of the email, standards were watered down.
Systems were doctored after passing their factory tests.
No-one bothered to swap-in the original factory tested subsystems and check they worked from the system.
So there were two versions of everything - the factory tested subsystem, and the subsystem doctored to "get it working" in the integration lab.
No one knew which version to ship.>>
