So, not to add fuel to a fire that seems to be calming down, but what is so wrong with having that feeling? If the core people are spending 3 months doing nothing but fixing bugs, the I consider that to _be_ the best work from the best people. Bugs happen and it's not really worth debating over how they got into the tree to begin with because it happens in a number of different ways. However, if it takes 3 months of bug fixing to get a tree in shape then I don't see how that's a problem at all. Personally, I'd rather take a relatively bug free tree over new shiny features on top of a buggy as hell tree. Call me old fashioned. josh | ||||||||||||
