gives too many unconfirmed bugs (over 1200), I've excluded RESOLVED and FIXED

that's not as near to 40000 or 80000 for another os, nevertheless it would seem
good will on your part, either to 
- change to NEEDINFO if bug seems valid in some condition that need to be
reproduced, ask for testers with the same configuration if you have not the same
configuration (hardware) to reproduce
- change to WORKSFORME if cannot be reproduced in newer version with identified
configuration
- WONTFIX for bugs outside Mandrake's scope (non free)

>From a user point of view, UNCONFIRMED means the bug is not taken into account
(with no reaseon displayed).
That's just a suggestion, maybe worth 10 men-day to be tackled with, deep freeze
being a relevant situation to clarify bugs if you want to make a hit with 9.2
(on a good way IMHO). rc3 may be delayed a bit, what the heck if community
adheres and new users appreciate the effort !? (even stakeholders who love
rating by numbers). 
Let's expect a 33% decrease (400 more bugs in a good status, rather than
unconfirmed). What do you think of it ?
