It's not the developer's fault that you _ship_ new bugs.

Just don't ship them.  If someone has to fix bugs in a released Fedora 
as opposed to rawhide or upstream before the version is packaged, you've 
already lost.

You probably can't match RHEL's QA for free, but testing - and not 
shipping things that don't pass - is the only way things can get better.

I've heard the term used as in "an instrument's tuning is 'good enough' 
for folk music" or "an approximation is 'good enough' for government 
work".  What's 'good enough' for an operating system?
