No, what I was trying to imply (but not very well) was that although a lot of good programmers test their applications "to run properly", very few of us (myself included) are good at testing that things are shut down properly. OSGi certainly assist in such practice, but as you mention elsewhere, the legacy is extremely poor at it, even if the rest of the codebase is of good quality. And Yes, I seriously think that the "there will always be bugs in software"-mentality is the main reason for "there will always be bugs in software". A lot of research, thinking and good ideas go into a lot of different software fields, but few (if any) have a focus to enforce the reduction of "engineering flaws". It is not a priority, which *I* think is a shame.
