In an ideal world, there would be an up-to-date list
of all known bugs, and another list of all features 
that are planned for the next release.

Besides laziness, there are a couple of reasons
why I don't publish these lists.

1. A list of every bug that I'm aware of would include 
    lots of very minor, very rare bugs that few people
    will ever encounter. I'd have to write a description
    of each bug in a form that people can clearly understand it.
    My descriptions currently are in a terse, cryptic form, 
    including references to internal data structures etc.
    Any major bugs are almost certain to be fixed in the next release.

2. A bug list should be on the Web site, but I think
    that people visiting the site for the first time would
    see the long list of (minor) bugs, think the product
    was very buggy, and leave.

3. I talk about the major features that I'm planning, but
    I shy away from listing lots of minor features. I have
   a huge list of small things I'd like to do, but I usually
   commit to something only when I've finished the previous
   task. Once I talk about doing something I feel committed
   to do it, even if I find something else that's a lot more useful.

4. Did I mention laziness?
