That's extremely unfortunate; it means that OpenStep's lack of
exception safety is *not* just an engineering trade-off, but instead
represents a serious design flaw.
Please stop mixing fact and opinion.
There are those -- some very very really terribly smart -- people who
feel that it is a design feature. Thus indicating that one camp is
either incorrect or, more likely, there is a huge wash of nearly
religious grey areas in between.
This is not the forum to argue the philosophy of design of something
that will not change.
(If anyone is keeping score, I have tried to be careful to *not*
express an opinion on this one. I have one and it has changed
radically over the years. Twice, no less. But that is OT for cocoa-
dev.)
