700 defects in 700,000 lines of code is the same ratio as 1 defect in
1000 lines of code, or 2 defects in 2000 lines of code.
It all comes down to code metrics.....

So what? Don't you think it is misleading to call something as bug
laden as Lazarus 1.0?
You need to put it into context. It is open-source, and has been a hobby
for many.
Writing compilers and code-tools is a tough business.
What has been done so far is remarkable....
Let's just put a shiny coat of paint on the thing and present it in it's
best light.....
we don't have to claim it as perfection... people are free to do their
evaluations as they see fit and come to their own conclusions....
You only can get away with that, if you are a commercial entity. Open
source has higher standards.
Higher ideals....
but in reality, commercial organisations must contribute funds/manpower
for open-source projects to be able to iron out their bugs.
hope you know that IBM invested about a billion dollars into Linux,
writing tests, to get it to be useable in a commercial sense. Otherwise,
it would have just stayed a hobbiest-hack.
Same is true for Lazarus.... we really need to find more companies that
can fund (unit) tests or contractor-time to sort out our issues.
To do that we need to present a slightly rosy picture ......
