He apparently didn't say which distribution he's using, and stability could depend on it. In my personal case I didn't remember of great stability in anything Ubuntu-based, including Kubuntu; but it was mostly issues of dpkg/etc. breaking into a big mess in a much faster and easily-triggered way than Debian stable. I think one day I should do an audit of Trinity 3.5.13 vs. KDE 3.5.10 and revert some Ubuntu patches… (I already have in mind the broken kdesu issue you previously reported)
I always read Bruce's writings with a proverbial grain of salt. He tends toward sensationalism and likes to play a game of creating rifts like he did in this article. His journalism tends toward what used to be called muckraking. When he writes in that mode I remind myself that everything is his opinion only and subjective. Everybody has an opinion and a poop chute. Both often stink. :)
Nothing he wrote requires or demands a public response. He has his opinion and we should let that be.
So much for that.
I am concerned about his reports of instability. We should receive such comments seriously. I hope he filed bug reports or contacted somebody on the development team. Even if he didn't this kind of publicity dictates that quality assurance must be a priority over release schedules. That means a lot of usability testing and not just pumping out code and packages.
I hope everybody here receives his article in a constructive manner. :)
