Absolutely. My team (newly formed earlier this year) has just gone through its first release, and I am pleased that we had similar results. All the core members and all but one of the late additions have that respect for each other, and it makes a big difference. Now if I could just instill this in the one last-minute QA person who doesn't quite grok the difference between bugs and wishes, we'd be set. (All of our other QA people rock, by the way.)
