Did you get a sex change too?

[Dennis Brown]

Jump up on soapbox with flame thrower!

It makes my blood boil when "easy to fix" bugs are not fixed because  
they are not high priority problems.  There is nothing more  
frustrating than having to put in "temporary" work around code  
forever.  Rediscovering the same bug over and over again in the user  
community makes Rev appear to be a far less bug free product than it  
is.  But what really irks me is when a new release breaks something  
that used to work, and because it is not a "high priority", the fix  
gets delayed for many months.  A priority list also needs to take  
into account the cost to fix in time, AND the cost in reputation.

Flame off.

Of course I have to concede that Rev has taken note of the impact of  
bugs recently, and at the strong urging of their users, has made a  
major push against the little demons in the latest release.  I hope  
this priority placed on dousing this latest release with liberal  
quantities of bugicide will continue in future.  Perhaps every new  
feature release can be followed by a major bug fix release to keep  
the momentum  up on having a clean environment.
