- Your point is well-taken, but the important issue to me is that this is NOT an
- error with the patch. If my application currently works fine because it
- unwittingly takes advantage of a bug in MacApp, then a new release of MacApp in
- which that bug is fixed _must_ be allowed to crash my application. If I can't
- stand to face such possibilities, then I should never load _any_ update of
- MacApp onto my system.
-
- This is just like Jesse's scenario in which a code segment now exceeds 32K.
- Neither one of these problems is MacApp's responsibility, and neither one of
- these problems would be prevented by a _thousand_ person-weeks of QA testing
- within a hermetically sealed Apple QA laboratory.
