Nah, it not that they/we "ignore" the bugs. 

Please do not forget:

- The Lenya community is still growing or being established. 
- (That is why) Lenya is a project under incubation. 
- (Most) Open source developers are *spending* their freetime to
programm. They do not get money(not often, or not direct).

User and developer support is very appreciated.

Currently there are *some* weird issues with jars especially with the
xalan stuff and it is hard to hunt them down.

Of course I can understand you. And it is good that you say what you
think.

Maybe, but I *know* their are more than two bugs.

Hopefully not. I plan to use the next Lenya release (1.2) as a basis for
at least two real life projects.

That is the naked truth.

Do they? I hope not. Especially the default pub is VERY IMPORTANT, imho.

This is per definition the case when using software version under
development from cvs.
