But, people will still report bugs which are corrected in the current packages. The force of Debian is not in the 3 distro approach. They use a special bug reporting tool, not a web interface. This sucks, IMHO, but, on the other hand, you need to know how to report a bug, and, people don't post "kde don t work" bug. So, providing snap shot of cooker wouln't be a good idea, since it will only generate more noise. What should be done is to educate people for good bug reporting. It would also be great to improve the search page of bugzilla. I still feel confused each time I use it. To give a simple exemple, we still can choose SGI and HP in the hardware section. -- Micka�l Scherer
