The latter is perhaps overly condensed, but there seem to be folks who never progress beyond a dogmatic phase of applying agile techniques. I.e. using feedback to apply the correct tools to the problem instead of forcing a static approach to the problem.
You can't ship process but here's my process... :-)
People don't really understand what process means.
To the point: people over process still applies today just as well as it applied when the manifesto was written. You can suck the life out of your team by forcing them to do things they don't believe make sense (and probably don't make sense).
Face to face is important. Different time zones? Find the right time of day. Use Hangouts or Skype. There are obviously many other complementary communication tools.
Individuals have always been asynchronous but collaboration helps get the best out of people. It's a mix. The Agile manifesto doesn't say be in each other's face all day and don't let anyone get any work done...

Who isn't? "Yeah, shipping? Not really that in to it."
