Open Letter to Rev: Quality Is Job #1

[Bill Marriott]

So let me get this straight: WER -- A neatly pressed, folded, and 
categorized collection of crash reports from actual users running Rev on a 
variety of system configurations, complete with a sampling of mini heap 
snapshots and system data, a system that has helped Microsoft and hundreds 
of other companies eliminate hard-to-pin-down bugs -- is of absolutely no 
interest to Rev? Amazing.
