Pah! You're a Linux user. It's expected of community members that they will understand that (a) almost everyone working in the community is volunteering and (b) if you think there's a problem it is _your_ responsibility to submit detailed bug reports, monitor their progress, and (preferably) submit a patch. The prime rule is that _somebody_ might solve your problems for you but _nobody_ is guaranteeing it. > > No one assumes you personnally don't do enough for Debian, so there is > no point in justifying yourself like that...
