What, exactly, was wrong with the certification process? All I've heard is a bunch of innuendo, backed by no evidence at all. "It crashed" is not, on its own, proof of a failure of the certification process, because "impossible to crash" is not a certification requirement.

Probably, but I still think it sends the wrong message. To me, it projects a lack of confidence.
