Yup. My concerns were too-heavy abstraction and performance. I didn't
get very deep into it as YOODA, TDBM, LINCKS, Persist++, Texas, etc seemed
much more inviting.

HP, where I've worked for 18 months now has been heavily investing in
Clearcase for their OS development (HP-UX). While I'd argue that its not
a suitable tool for OS development (its handling of dependancy loops and
cross dependencies is particularly atrocious), it is an impressive system.
