I don't see the open source vs in-house point you are trying to make, but I still agree with the general point that "production" partly depends who you ask and what they need it for. For example, I expect that most companies would tolerate more bugs in a program for internal use than in a program intended for paying customers. That said, I tried to give a vague notion in my earlier post. "Production" means that the developers have given me some sort of verbal assurance that the product is reasonably stable and can be relied on to reasonably work as documented. > Some kind of an official blessing is needed by most of us.
