That video brings nothing new to the table from my perspective.

In the 21 century you just throw your idea/project/product over the wall 
and in the hands of the users/consumer and they themselves take care of 
testing and take direction of the project/product that is if they deemed 
it not failed to begin with.

Today it's more about are you fast enough to respond to them ( 
users/consumer )  but mostly are you fast enough to respond faster then 
your competitor.
( by responding I mean fix detected bug and implement what ever the 
change the user needs/wants )

I dont know if the above makes sense to you.

In a project like Fedora which consist of multiple projects which in 
essence are all thrown over the wall the above does not apply since the 
rules are quite different.

We have to make sure all the projects play nicely to each other ( well 
nicely enough to be shipped ) so yes we are somewhere between the "old" 
model and the "new".
