I disagree, since there is a mixing of supposed to be developer 'developing' 
and user 'using'.
For instance when i came back i noticed that the stable FG1.9.1 was delivered 
working with a not stable OSG library which an SVN version, in spite of an 
announced  coming stable OSG Version.

So i conclude that,  HERE within the FG developers mind , any user is 
considered  being  aware with development process.
Sure my question could have been asked on the user mailing list.
Which wont have changed nothing  :( .

BTW: developing model does not mean, developing programs.
My very old experience  has vanished , and it is not now with my 66 years old, 
that will start a carrier of developper .
