Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you mean by a "bug level", but I'm having difficulty with what you propose. WHAT IS an "acceptable bug level", defined so that I know when I have reached it? You can't simply ask that there be no more than x "minor bugs" present in the software - that gets you into a variation of the issue of proving software correct (How can I possibly KNOW that I am down to x "minor bugs" and 0 "major bugs"?). Please understand, I AM in agreement with your philosophy; I'd just like to see a usable definition. Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah, Happy Saturnalia, etc. etc.!
