"According to most of the development people I've worked with, there
is no such thing as a bug. It's just an undocumented feature."
Sure. And there's no such thing as a typo. It's just an alternate
spelling 8^)
Regarding an in-your-face list of bugs in release notes, at a certain
large computer vendor I once worked for, a colleague was kept under
the gun grinding out the release notes for an operating-system
release. He did manage to finish the document, but when the
engineering vice president saw over 100 PAGES of restrictions
(unfixed bugs), he canceled the release.
