If we found a way to make BDUF work reliably, it would transform the industry overnight, and turn software development into a recognisable engineering discipline. The fact that we haven't yet, and that one particular approach failed, doesn't mean that it isn't possible. Nor does it mean we should stop trying.

Iterative development is an interesting stop-gap, but it's certainly not the be-all and end-all we should be looking for.
