The point I was trying to make is that big projects can evolve and be managed in a very simple manner, which is the case for many pieces of Unix software. The details regarding changelog nomenclature vary, and of course there may be additional plain text files which are still simply kept in the HEAD.

(Don't get me wrong, I think that Unix projects have a better track record than Agile projects) Personally I think the biggest benefit of "Agile" is that it's established enough to sell it to customers if you're a consultant. As no two Agile processes/teams look the same (hence the name), you've got a lot of freedom. If you came to a big company without that name brand recognition of "XP", you'd probably be forced to do it with ITIL, the Unified Process or other Godzilla-like monstrosities. Having been there, I feel their pain.
