I'm sorry. Next time I'll give a more careful, thoughtful response.

Then why not run software which thousands upon thousands of volunteers
and paid employees around the world have already done extensive QA?
There are several examples that come to mind, and one of them is
mediawiki. If you're looking for something small with no RDBMS
overhead, try MoinMoin instead. If you're looking for something FOSS
that integrates with subversion, try trac. Here are some others:

I'm sure Michael is running decent software, but he certainly did give
the impression that it's bug free, and that is at best a simple error
in wording. I'm sorry if my response came off as combative or a
challenge. My intention was to make clear that his endorsement was not
a particularly useful one for someone seriously considering paying for
the product.
