Inappropiate "BUGS" Sections

[Jerome_V_Vollborn at cup.portal.com]

I agree with Bill Wolfe about the quoted statements in the "BUGS" 
sections of the man pages.  Try to pretend you are a manager is 
a customer shop who is looking at the man pages before investing 
your company's money in Unix based systems.  While I like humor, 
these sections are very poor customer relations.  The C/Unix community 
is not alone in making this mistake but that is not a reason to 
continue making mistakes or refrain from correcting past mistakes 
where possible.  

Not looking at documents from the customer perspective is one of 
the marks of engineers.  We all need to improve in this area.
