13. “I  want,  as  a  major  3.6  bullet  point,  that   we  should  never  lose  posts  due  to   expired  cookies,  loss  of  connection,   inadvertent  navigation,  plugin  or  core   errors  on  save,  browser  crashes,  OS   crashes,  cats  walking  on  keyboards,   children  drooling  in  keyboards,  etc.  I   want  people  to  trust  WordPress  with   their  posts.  “  -­‐‑  Mark  Jaquith
