My sense is that most of us who produce software are less interested in error-free software than in overall productivity. There is an enormous amount of highly useful software out there that contains all kinds of both known and as yet undiscovered bugs. In other words, I propose that the perfect is the enemy of the good here.
I have several security lists (and victims of the reported security issues) and several rather large sectors of industry (financial and medical, to name two) which are increasingly realizing that this attitude isn't viable any more. It is becoming increasingly obvious that "productivity is more important than error-free" leads to very expensive reparations down the road. -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allbery.b@gmail.com ballbery@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net
