Code for open-source Facebook littered with landmines

WTF?

Hummm... did you read the PRE-ALPHA release part?

A pre-alpha release is expected to be bug-ridden. It's purpose is to demonstrate a concept an attract developers and funding. IT'S NOT FOR END USERS.

An alpha release is still expected to be bug-ridden, but mainly functional. It's purpose is to begin the testing cycle for correction of major bugs and addition of new minor features. IT'S NOT FOR END USERS.

A beta release is expected to be fully functional, but still needing minor bug correction. IT'S NOT FOR END USERS.

And then comes the release candidate! This is a complete product, completely debug to the max of the abilities of the developers. It will soon be released except some major hidden bug is found. IT'S NOT FOR END USERS.

And only after all this we have a release version. This is the only one destined for end users.

It's ridiculous to criticize a pre-alpha release because it's bug ridden and security flawed. This is what you would expect about it.
