I seriously doubt that OpenBSD can ensure that their patches don’t break their users in 3 days. Additionally, if their patches do break their users, OpenBSD can, unlike Microsoft, claim that it’s working as intended, and if you don’t like it, tough shit. Microsoft doesn’t really have this as an option.
- wbl 7y agoComputing division correctly is not going to break anything. What will rely on an infinite loop?
- brynet 7y agoIndeed, that OpenBSD can succeed in 3 days, with an errata team typically between 4-6 people, what Microsoft as a company with well over a hundred thousand employees, is failing at 90 days. Doesn't explain that.
- qaq 7y agoYou are extremely generous in assuming Big Corp is using whole 90 days for fix and validation. In might have being sitting in a backlog for 90% of that time.
- SmellyGeekBoy 7y agoPerhaps your argument would be stronger if you could provide some examples of broken patches pushed by OpenBSD?
