Aloha! I wrote my own post on this issue, here. It is difficult to address specific points without having an overview of the details and insights into the code. This is a highly specialised and technical project and while it is probably true that fairly major holes exist in the process engineering side of things here, we don't actually know enough to comment fully accurately (in other words, judgements don't help).

I do feel though, that the points I made in my post regarding structured and formal processes, which you made to some extent too - probably apply here and need to be resolved better than just 'Everything is fine' or 'be patient'.
