Peggy,

Definitely, it provides 'bounded instability'.   What the good fathers may be 
worried about isn't so much the boundedness, or lack thereof, but rather 
their terror is instability, loss of the control illusion which keeps things 
together.   We have many myths in our culture against the kind of openness that OS 
represents, among them Pandora's Box, source of all human troubles.   For 
those steeped in ritual, the OS container may simply be too loose.
