As a professional storage engineer, your comment strikes my heart with horror. A reproducible bug that causes a crash/hang/loss of data in your file system in patently unacceptable.
We labor to design a system that stores data safely to a stable medium. This is done while acknowledging that we are not perfect and cannot get everything right. HOWEVER, when we know that we have done something wrong and it can gravely affect a user, we do not ship. Ever. Period.
"Software has bugs" is the lamest excuse to ship something with bugs. Do you think that pacemaker firmware leaves the factory floor with known bugs? I doubt it.
