Would your folk ship code with a list of outstanding

** Everyone ** ships code with known bugs. If you insist on getting
things perfect your code never gets out the door. At some point you
have to decide that what you have is good enough to be released.
The trick is to decide what constitutes "good enough". Some of it
depends on your target application and user base. What's good enough
for Hunt the Wumpus may well not be good enough for process control
software for a pacemaker or nuclear reactor. And if you're producing
software for commercial sale, marketing and business factors enter the
mix as well.
I don’t think Ken & Dennis did that.
OTOH I'm certain that they did.
