I believe that if you write a buggy engine that tops the ssdf(shredder7) and
provides a free upgrade(shredder7.04) then customers are going to be
more happy.

If by the word "buggy engine" you mean to a program that is even not stronger
than the previous version then customers are not going to be so happy.
