Yes, I remember that text. It was indeed part of the ``A Fast File Syystem for UNIX'' paper as it appeared in the 4.2 docs. That paper had a chapter 6 ``Software engeneering''. The version of the paper in the 4.3-net2 sources lacks that chapter. We no longer have the 4.2 (nor the 4.3) sources on-line so I can't send you a copy. It is in the 4.2 docs, I checked my hardcopy.
