Well, suppose we eliminate 5% of all bugs each week. Then after a year only 7% of the original bugs are left. In a stable series that is a fairly good result. In a series that is simultaneously "stable" and "development" new random bugs are being introduced continually. One never reaches the state with only few bugs. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
