It's not about releases, it's about auditing a product before the authors accually have made their minds up about where the product is going. Tinc started out as a idea on using the tap device for something useful. It migrated to a pretty nice vpn solution. Even linus made some pretty bad coding errors when he started out with linux, if you want to imply that when software, or a part of it was once flawed, you shouldn't trust the author ever, you shouldn't use linux at all.IMHO, the key words in Richard's posting are ``[not] enough expertise'', and ``a track record''. The idea that the [conceptual] flaws will be fixed in The Next Release [TM], although quite common amongst the people, is a mere instance of a proof by wishful thinking. Clueless authors will always produce crappy software, regardless of how long they've been in the business.
