Good God, man, what were you thinking? Allowing users to write their own shell
scripts?!!? :)

Possibly. The problem is that there is enough undocumented stuff on there that
something always gets overlooked. For instance, last time one of the problems
was a shell script in a user's home directory that contained a Unix command
that didn't have the same options on the new OS. We only tested scripts that
were in the normal application directories. There always seems to be time to
fix it when it calls attention to itself by breaking, but not time to document
and reorganize so that we can give it a good test.

Well, he did say "have to field user complaints for weeks after each move,
despite testing." That immediately implies there hasn't been sufficient
testing to me. :)
