I agree with this, and clearly a project that has been spec'd in great deta=
il prior to its development would directly lead to a better organized proje=
ct.

Then you get into the coding and realize Ada doesn't exactly agree with you=
r organization strategy and imposes some design constraints, particularly w=
ith a heavily multi-threaded project. This is kind of how it worked out for=
 me. Once Ada forced me into nesting what would have otherwise been living =
in other packages, my ambitions for file organization went down the drain. =
And it didn't help that I was on strict deadline by this point in time.
