But bug reports and response can be measured, at least by those with
support contracts for the commercial products. I found PFSense less
reliable by a quite large margin than commercial offerings. Plus when
I have a problem, I can open a case and somebody else is working on it
(because I paid them to), and they usually solve the problem without a
lot more involvement on my part.
Valid points, my intention was to share my thoughts on certification and
audit processes in general, and I guess in the process derail the thread
a bit.
Back to pfSense, arguably the point you raise is even stronger than the
"bad coding practices" one. I might even say I personally don't care
much about coding practices as I care about support services being
prompt and effective. The latter
*may* actually lead to good coding practices, but not the other way around.
