It's a general statement.  The GUI is complicated because of all the  
interactions.
A change in one place might break something somewhere else and which  
would
seem completely unrelated ;-) (I blame the API, but you could  
conceivably blame
the implementation)

Because of that, I'd expect the GUI to need even more bug fixing than  
the rest ?

For the non-graphical stuff (gnustep-make, gnustep-base, jigs,  
SQLClient,
WebServer, WebServices, etc) that we use at work, we are very keen on  
having
very stable and bug free releases.  We almost don't care about new  
features.
But we need very stable software.  So a long bug fixing phase is  
really good.  :-)

I would imagine most other users appreciate very stable software  
too. :-)

Thanks
