This was brought up about 3-4 months ago.. during the time of the LAST Community 
manager that left MM...
Nothing came out of if.. think he said.. he would put into request or something like 
that..

Yes.. this would be nice.

I think one of the root causes of this kind of frustration is that
it's very difficult to know what the status of a fix is. The bug list
isn't public, and if it is available to anyone outside of macromedia
they don't mention it anywhere, or are limited by some kind of nda.

We ran into a bug yesterday (gethttpRequestData) that almost cost us a
client, now for two hours we banged away at the problem until we
figured out it had to be a bug, I searched cf-talk, and was able to
confirm it was a known bug, and get working on a fix. Some kind of bug
database would probably go a long way towards alleviating some
frustration. Java, PHP, and MS all have public bug databases...why
can't CF? All we have are the very few technotes which address maybe
1% of outstanding bugs.
