Out of fairness, you found 3 bugs in a single 1700-line package, and
made very far-fetching conclusions ("Don't you test your code?!") out
of that.  Emacs weighs in at 400K C lines and 1400K Lisp lines, so
with all due respect, accusing us in not testing our code based on
such a small sample is a bit too much.  If all that code were not
tested at all, it would never have worked at all.
