If you think it's all under control over there you need to take your blinkers off. There are plenty of nasty (yet well written up) bugs lurking in Mozilla Bugzilla and there are mountains of reports that go by unnoticed. Don't get me started... I can understand why Mandrake's Bugzilla was closed up. I don't have to be happy about it but I can understand why it happend. Unless you have a very dedicated (and big) team perpertually grooming the thing bug databases become hair balls very quickly.
