A little slack? (Score 1)

Oh, come on, guys, give them a break. I watched Dries' keynote address streamed online in which he made this declaration. The point is it's a standard, a declaration of intent. He essentially expressed regret at the unexpected quagmire of the 3-year dev cycle for v7 that was caused by accepting component builds with a sum total of hundreds of *known* bugs. So, now, the aspiration and protocol is to not accept new builds of core pieces if they can find more than 15 total bugs among them. How is that any different or worse than any other policy statement. They're not saying they will cure a different genetic disorder with each new build. And I guess the assumption can be that they are prioritizing the stability level of the status quo build over new bells, whistles, or expansion. I'm as frustrated as anyone about the many challenges a developer faces getting all the parts of a f*ing Drupal site to all work at once and reliably, but version 7 leaves a lot of the chaos behind it, and the 15-bug rule for version 8 is an applaudable new policy to continue in this more modern and stable direction.
