So would I, but that shouldn't matter.
Fox Software practised full disclosure (or at least they sure made it look like that) and people still climbed aboard in droves!

I hear that MS has been bitten more than once by some article writers pointing to a long list of known bugs and using that as "proof" that MS code is poor quality.

But surely that is old news by now. People are generally far more knowledgeable now about this stuff than they were even 5 years ago.

At least for the VFP Team I would dearly like to see them give this a real shot! After all, we did go "out of the box" to give us more latitude overall, and surely this is an area of vital interest to the community. And there is the Fox precedence.

Maybe a survey could ask us to rate the importance to us of Full error list disclosure. While I think that the answer would also be obvious, there is more of a chance for diversity with such a question I think.
