findbugs [LSARC/2008/642 FastTrack timeout 10/27/2008]

Yes, it applies to all FOSS projects.

But it's very much a question of practical consequence for using FOSS.

What is "architectural" exactly?

AFAIK maintenance *is* an architectural question because it speaks  
directly to:
- version or version(s) installed
- when and how versions are updated
- backward/forward compatibility
