OK, I totally agree that one should be honest about bugs and the general
level of maturity of software.

I recently tried to use (and enhance) software that more or less claimed
to be stable enough for productive usage and claimed to have a plethora
of great features (scalability etc).. and when I read the code (a few
thousand lines of undocumented/uncommented ruby, *urgh*) I realized that
it was more of a dirty hack that didn't have most of the advertised
features.. that's really annoying and disappointing.
