In general, of course. If I ran my application and found all the buttons are in the mess on the wrong places, scrollers don't scroll, etc... Yeah, most likely I just stop trying. In the other hand, if I have one exception with adequate message which I recognize as a problem in my code... I just say 'great thanks' to those who helped me to find it :-) Again, it should not be hundreds of exceptions! It may be 1 exception per 100 applications... Something like that... Otherwise we will identify the problem when testing and decide what to do. Sorry if I very optimistic :-) Probably we can have some place where everyone will be able to record identified deviations? I'm not sure that is really makes sense 'cause I can't imagine how to handle such list for the practical value. Obviously all serious deviations have to be discussed here. -- Anton Avtamonov, Intel Middleware Products Division
