Tell your management that this is the difference between commercial and
free software:
. For commercial software, you pay big bucks and get phone support. When
you phone up with a problem, they tell you it will be fixed in the
next release, which is due out in 6 months time.
. For free software, you pay nothing, and don't get phone support. If
you have a problem, you post to the mailing list, and if it's a real
problem you get a patch within 24 hours.
