That's the first time I've ever heard GNU associated with the bazaar. The original thesis of the book (CatB) is the observation that GNU is a cathedral (with saint rms at its head) and Linux (the kernel) is a bazaar.
Yes, that's what I meant. It's true that many GNU projects were (and are) cathedrals, but their cathedrals were more like a bazaar compared to the BSDs. GNU projects tend to be run mostly-independently, but the BSDs were (and are) maintained as entire monoliths... kind of the ultimate cathedral approach. And while cathedrals are beautiful, they take hundreds of years to build, and that's a problem in the software development world.
