That's fallacious. Assuming that you have good programmers, and you do,

asking for an absurd amount of care. You must not pay $200 /hour for 
someone to review your software. All I, personally, ask for is that the 
basic attention is given. With this simple act, I'm sure you would cover 
the majority of the bugs.


So, only those willing to pay have the right of respect? Because, you 
see, this is rather a matter of respect with those who choose to use 
your solution. And, no, the "free will" argument does not qualify 
herein. My mother is not aware of your absurd acts.

I don't follow what you have just said. What is the problem with 
"versioning" and the strictness of its relation to bugs, security or not?


I think, CVE registration or the alike would be too much for what I call 
"act of decency". A single parenthesis note on the bug itself would be 
of great help and of small effort.
