Upgrade fever is hardly the problem here, since OS X 10.2 is a
significant improvment in quality over OS X 10.1 and this is the first
announced, stable release of fink for OS X 10.2.

As much as I like fink and hate to see if being bashed, I believe that
this attitude:

  > For whaterver kind of OS, free or commercial, any major releases
  > are unstable, aren't they???

is a big problem for the health of the software community at large.

The average quality of software is unbelieveably bad and this state of
affairs should not be tolerated -- consumers of software should expect
a high standard of quality and as developers we should feel some amount
of shame for not being able to provide it. (I am not a developer of
fink, but I do develop software and I try to hold myself and my
colleagues to a high standard of quality -- we don't always succeed,
however.)
