If it has defects, then we can call it bugs, if a software implementation has
Bugs, the best choice is fixing them, Or we don't support the function before the bugs
fixed. And this is what the feature bits do. If we introduce a version, how do we
know which version fix that bugs? Do we need add another feature bit to negotiable
it?
