"According to most of the development people I've worked with, there is no such thing as a bug. It's just an undocumented feature."

Sure. And there's no such thing as a typo. It's just an alternate spelling 8^)

Regarding an in-your-face list of bugs in release notes, at a certain large computer vendor I once worked for, a colleague was kept under the gun grinding out the release notes for an operating-system release. He did manage to finish the document, but when the engineering vice president saw over 100 PAGES of restrictions (unfixed bugs), he canceled the release.
