Well, I hear that very often from people, who never worked in a
professional environment, where it really matters if your system is
running or not.

We are doing our best too provide you the best quality. But you
shouldn't forget, that all people at Blastwave are doing this in their
free time and no one is getting payed for that, what he is doing. That
means, that we do not provide 24h support with SLA if something doesn't
work. This is something what you can get from commercial software, but
not from OSS projects.
