Also, I haven't encountered *any* bugs in the heavily-tested core kernel: everything I've seen has been either
- on relatively obscure arches (ARM, MIPS, SPARC64), or
- in relatively-new features (e.g. initramfs), or
- in drivers for specific hardware

The heavily-tested does-it-basically-work-on-common-hardware stuff seems to be cracked: it's just that everyone has *some* piece of obscure hardware or other, and they might get bitten by bugs in it...
