 The word 'anarchy' tends to carry with it quite a bit of negative imagery,
 so it's not wise to just haphazardly toss it around and use it to label
 things which are decidedly very ordered and controlled.

I think the problem is here: your feeling.  I an a cold anarchist, without 
particular taste or distaste for words, when I see an anarchic system 
somewhere, I recognize it as such. Open source ideas are in the anarchy 
domain, if you think this is offensive, the problem is with you. I restate 
the basic fact: Anarchy is not disorder, it is organization without herarchy. 
Now you may argue that a particular project or part of it is only 62.456 per 
cent anarchic in its concept, I think this without interest.

This subject is relevant to cryonics because the cryonics community can't pay 
for a herarchy based research system. Only an anarchy-like model could be 
used to advance thing faster than today. Here is no political direct link 
with that concept, it is only about efficient work organization in a 
distributed ressource environment.
