This is from a marketing POV, Geoff. Here, you are encouraged to upgrade to
the latest and strongest bugs. Evolution is achieved through bug
abstraction, bug encapsulation and other advanced techniques, that lead to
make the person that wrote the first bug a critical employee to fix it and
introduce a new one in exchange.

But I was only speaking from the side of the designer or programmer, money
and employment put aside.
