I agree with you.  There's something different between the bazaar and
the cathedral going on with XP.  With the bazaar it's very hard to
refactor continuously.  People don't like when public interfaces
change.  The cathedral reminds me of the ivory tower where solutions
come down from above.  XP is more like a peasant cooperative.  You are
all working together towards a common goal, someone is nominally in
charge, and your work product has to be usable or you go out of
business very quickly.
