I find this particular statement rather amusing. At my day job I work with "enterprise" software, which is currently running on dedicated hardware sold to major corporate customers worldwide. To say that the state of the bug tracker barely even begins to approach the state of D's bugtracker, would be the understatement of the century. We have so many outstanding bugs, ranging from minor to subtle-but-nasty to major design problems, that the PTBs have given up on trying to rein in the bug count, and have resorted to measures like closing bugs due to inactivity. The number of "outstanding significant issues" that get postponed past releases due to lack of resources, is enough to send chills down one's back, if he has any sense of pride in his work at all. Yet this bug-ridden software was deemed "production ready" (whatever that means), and is in fact running in mission-critical services on customer sites. By comparison, the state of D's bug tracker looks a lot more promising. T -- Political correctness: socially-sanctioned hypocrisy.
