I slightly disagree. 100% should, indeed, mean "everything is 
implemented". 80%, however, should not mean "80% of the functions are 
implemented". If anything, it should mean "80% of the functionality is 
implemented". I also think that this should be scaled according to how 
frequent a certain function is called. For example, a function that 
requires months of work to implement, but is only used by 1% of the 
programs, cannot drop the support precentage by 80%, even if it is that 
amount of work.

"95% of the job requires 5% of the work", also known as the 95/5 rule.
