> It has no bugs that any significant number of people ever encounter, and it is reasonable to say after this long that it never will.

This is statistically equivalent to saying "no bugs"; it's like saying "today a meteor will not end all life on Earth" when the rigorous phrasing would be "with 99,99% certainty, there is a probability of less then 0,00001% that a meteor will today end all life on Earth".

But re-reading my post, I understand that it can be construed as saying "nix said that sysvinit has no bugs at all". And, for the record, you didn't, so I stand corrected!

Not to worry about -- the poisonous atmosphere of this whole discussion and affair kind of warrants it.
