Every commercial software product you buy has "known problems."  Trouble is,
you're not the one who knows about them.  Wouldn't you rather have a list
of the problems?  It is not unheard of to deliver software with known 
problems to the DoD or anyone else, as long as you come clean about it (and
fix it later).
