For sure the vendors are garbage. But maybe the COTR should've rejected the work if it was unacceptable.

    Exactly. VMS probably literally "meets the requirements". HN dunked all over that agile vs. waterfall article from a few days ago, wondering whether or not waterfall wasn't just some boogeyman that a bunch of consultants had to invent to sell certificates, but I'm here to tell you waterfall is a thing and it's still alive and kicking in the Navy, even now.
