Jack,
I am a bit troubled by the news of a Rev."C" J-Std. It is starting to seem
like the IPC has adopted the Microsoft marketing plan with new releases
every so often. You, know Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000 etc. as a
means of generating income.
Can you enlighten us as to what is being voted on? Is this a significant
enough of a change to warrant a revision change?
Whether you realize it or not, you are starting to create the same messy
condition of years past when our shop floor had some programs running under
Mil-Std 454J Req'mt 9, some running under WS6536, some to Mil-S-45743, some
to Mil-Std-2000A etc. All these different specs had different requirements
that required specific knowledge about the applied spec while working on a
job.
You may think that just because you release Rev C, the previous revisions
are superceded. Not so. When Rev C is released, I'll have some programs
running to Rev A, some to Rev B while new programs will mandate Rev C. You
have to understand that, at least on military programs, it is a very
expensive (Drawing Changes and hardware revisions) and time consuming
process (meetings, sign-offs etc.) to change contractual obligations even
for just a Rev letter change. So even though you may update a spec, I still
have to be running to the provisions of the specification imposed at the
time a contract was signed.
So, unless there is a real good reason for an upgrade, I'd like to see you
"cool it" with the revision changes.
Regards,
Bill Kasprzak
