You might note that I didn't comment on this in the revised article.
So, yes and no.
Absolutely YES, I think code review is very important.
I don't think it's something to suggest that people do before they
release their first version, however. It seems like a steep "release
curve" to me.
However, I hope that people will jump on new software announced in
bip and start trying to use it, which is a kind of distributed code
review... ;)
cheers,
