People who install VFP 9 and then sp2 but don't know about the issues with the report grouping may be printing incorrect reports and never know. Additionally, anyone who relies on a common set of VFP runtimes and has these type of reports will be bitten if the common runtimes are updated without their knowledge.

Define "sufficient" ;-(

How many of us has the luxury of running a full regression test every time a service pack is released? Cathy has enough knowledge, expertise, and interest in the VFP report writer to have caught this. IMO that is an unusual case, not the usual case. Many of us would have missed it even if we had run a regression test.
