As for releasing software with "bugs", this is normal,
even with MS products.

But MS fixes their bugs and will continue to do so until 2014 in my case. I 
am trying to get them to think about the problem that lost them a lof of 
people in OOo, most of which are still in LO, and if you read over to 
Alexander's post to me, there seems to be no plans to pick up the bugs and 
fix them. They're dangerously close to repeating OOo's mistakes. LO is 
better IMO but what it does not do is what it says it'll do.

  Many bugs are found in real world
testing that happens on some systems, but not others.  When these bugs are
reported, they are placed on some type of "bug needing to
be fixed list".

According to Alexander, no, that's not so. Again, see his post to me. Devs 
only want to write new code, not fix code, apparently not even their own.

On the OOo releases list you could nominate a bug as a 'blocker' on the
list. LO doesn't have the same (that I'm aware of), but they do have a
'most annoying bug' bug report for releases going forward. As far as I
can tell anyone can add to that bug report with their own bug report
addition. See:

[LibreOffice 3.5 most annoying bugs]
<quote from first comment>
This is the Meta issue to track most annoying bugs for the release of
LibreOffice 3.5.x releases. It helps developers to concentrate on bugs
that are important for users. Also it helps users to be aware of
potential problems.

If anyone wants to raise an Bug for the release, please add the Bug ID
as dependent Bug here to the Meta Bug in field "Depends on".
Additionally please leave a comment here why you think that the bug
should be privileged.

and http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan

So if you've a particular bug that you'd like to see fixed add it
there... of course after first reading:
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Release_Criteria
That does include information on blockers, but I've not found any wiki
pages on 'most annoying bug' criteria (yet). So I reckon that until
someone defines the MAB criteria, add your MAB to 37361.
