will there be any bonification for those that collaborate with bug finding and posting suggestions at the Fry forum ...... i mean something like a discount for a full copy of Fry ?

Certainly not for me

That is a limitation real users can either overcome or live with.

Technically speaking, you can't impose some kind of arbitrary threshold on the surface area or whatever of a light source, and then ignore certain paths (e.g LS+DS+E) for light sources that don't meet that threshold, while still calling the result unbiased.

fry is not doing anything like that. Like I said, the problem discussed here was a bug, not a deliberate feature. That's all.

Ah, ok.
I agree that such cases are difficult for all unbiased renderers.
