RE: just terrific!!

>even if the bug list seems -incredibly huge-!.

we're still pre-1.0, which in the programming world means BETA.  If there was 
no bug
list, or a very small one, we'd be at 1.0 or higher.  Also, even in the "closed
source" world, "stable" doesn't nessicarily mean "bug free", the difference is 
that
you usualy don't get a full list of all the bugs reported and have absolutly no 
way
at all to fix any of them on your own schedual, you have to wait until the 
company
decides it's a bug they need to fix.
