I'd like to take this opportunity to remind teams that the development engineers absolutely must have all failure mode data available in order to do their jobs well.

Scott quoted a 0.2% failure rate, which is acceptable by my standards considering the RMA policy. What he can't quote or analyze is unreported failures. Each unreported failure represents a disconnect in our community, because the people who create and the people who use see two different data sets.

For example, it is possible that 50% of my analog breakouts are going up in smoke, but teams aren't reporting it because they simply use the other one. If this is the case (unlikely), we need to know it so we can fix it.
