This rule should apply only to not-yet-reported bugs (or very fresh ones, eg. reported a day or two before the release). It is not fair to apply it to bugs which have been known for a long time, and release the software anyway, although they remain. > All past releases have had some unresolved issues and > while we would like to release perfect software, its a matter of > time/benefit ratio. But you are not going to release 0.8 with *known* bugs not fixed and call it stable, are you? I don't want to be considered not trustworthy when I advertise QGIS 0.8 to my colleagues and folks at Polish GIS and GPS mailing lists. If QGIS is released with known bugs not foxed on purpose, I will hesitate to promote it.
