Re: Surpassing Microsoft quality



If the bug, that You call *feature*, has been introduced by *security updates*, how do they get fixed then? Does it get fixed ever?

   Hi


   I've been using Debian for 4 years because I felt confident about
it's quality. I've swallowed the ancient software in the name of
stability. I've been proud of security updates. I learned how to make
the desktop useful for human beings.

   Now, I have awaken because of bug 372719. Wine crashes,
OpenOffice.org 2.0 crashes upon saving a document. The bug was
introduced in "security update" of libfreetype. Identification of
problem was quick in OpenOffice.org community, and also in Debian. Just
apply the next security update that will fix the bug.
    
IIRC, "security updates" do just (and *only*) that: fix *security*
bugs, not *feature* bugs.

Is "common sense" really valid?
For example, it is "common sense" to white-power racists that
whites are superior to blacks, and that those with brown skins
are mud people.
However, that "common sense" is obviously wrong.
