So a user has never presented you with a bug that you chose not to fix (at
least not right now), either because:
1) it would cost the customer more than it was worth to them to fix, or
2) Even though they considered it a bug, most other users considered it a
feature, or
3) It was more important to get other bug fixes released
I would rather see Allaire release new versions or patches that provide
major improvements than spend all their development time indefinitely fixing
ever-more-minor bugs. I don't find Allaire especially good or bad at
releasing clean code and am not trying to defend their policies, but I think
saying "all bugs identified by anyone anywhere must be fixed before release"
is equivalent to "we will never release".

Well, as an Allaire customer, I say fix all the bugs.
So you're saying some bugs will deliberately not be fixed in 5.0 unless
perhaps they win some popularity contest. Is that as absurd as it sounds or
is it just me? Next time my client comes to me and says, hey, there are 10
bugs in the program you wrote, I'll say, well, 10 is a lot, so pick 6 of 'em
that you dislike the most and I'll just fix those. Puuuhleeease!
Thanks,
