Of course people like stable products. Unfortunately, the definition of "stable" is problematic. Do you mean that stable means zero P1-P5 bugs? This can also mean that nobody was testing the product i.e. there are many many hidden and unknown bugs. So it is certainly better to agree on certain distribution of open bugs across priorities _in advance_ and test&fix like crazy during stabilization period. That's why we have you! NetCAT team of selected community members to help us with this task. We said that we will release only if:

- there are 0 P1 bugs
- P2 bugs must be all fixed or waived
- there are 4700 or less P3 bugs (target is 3350)

Do you question this goal?

Yes, if we meet given quality criteria and CA survey will not discover any showstopper we can release.
