Definition from Eric S. Raymond

β€œA standard joke is that a bug can be turned into a feature simply by documenting it (then theoretically no one can complain about it because it’s in the manual), or even by simply declaring it to be good. β€œThat’s not a bug, that’s a feature!” is a common catchphrase.”
