  Mozilla bugzilla has reached bug id 800000. Mozilla typically file a bug for every actionable item, not just defects; the number of non-bogus, non-duplicate, non-feature-request, non-tracking-bug, and non-firefox-bugs (website, thunderbird, all other products since inception) will be much, much fewer.

  Not sarcastic. The only bug-free software is software that has no users.[1] A well-fed bug tracker is one of those Good Problems To Have. [1] With the exception of http://www.fastcompany.com/28121/they-write-right-stuff http://www.fastcompany.com/28121/they-write-right-stuff

  It is not true that the number of bugs users have found and reported correlates linearly with "how buggy" a piece of software is. And it isn't true that every piece of software is born with the number of bugs, and the number of solved bugs in the tracker is a measure of how close to perfection the software is. But the second is much closer to the truth than the first.
