So this implies that seven years from now, Android, a long-time feature-complete OS, will still somehow be incomplete and in need of regular updates. We have this saying in my language: a samurai doesn't have a goal, he only has a path.

In the modern world, every piece of software that isn't cut off from the outside world needs security updates. This isn't the fault of Android developers or anyone else really, it's simply the reality that software (and hardware) is made by humans and humans make mistakes.

But if you stop adding new features no one ever asked for, you'll eventually run out of bugs.

>>grishk+Gu
No. Bugs are found on software and hardware decades old. Ways to find bugs are evolving, too.

>>jylam+lB
Yes, they are found in old software because that software was abandoned by its developer in favor of a version with more features that required refactoring and introduced new bugs in the process. The thing I'm saying, or at least something close to it, was only ever done with games. Games are somehow the only kind of software where everyone agrees that it can have a defined end state.
