One other idea : we have more active installs (see http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/temp/space/page/chart/2142541496.png) since … hmm … ok, hard to tell ^^ ; but it's globally increasing. We then have more user feedback, which can lead to more issues. Regarding the possibles solutions, here are some of them : * As we are now preparing for a new LTS release, it could be nice to organize something like a BFW (Bug Fixing Week) or a BFM ; I didn't checked if we are on time on the roadmap though, but this could help lowering the number of bugs going in the 10.* versions ; especially considering the fact that some difficult bugs take more than one day to resolve. * The GCI might help reducing the number of trivial / easy bugs if done correctly. * The category having the most bugs is Old Core (about 17% of the total number of bugs) and it's growing (see https://jira.xwiki.org/secure/Dashboard.jspa?selectPageId=13924). Maybe we should either : ** Try to focus more on Old Core bugs during BFDs ** Try to solve the fact that, after 10+ years of «Moving away from the Old Core» (see http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/DevelopmentPractices#HMigratingawayfromtheOldCore) we are still heavily relying on it and integrate some solutions for removing some Old Core components directly as part of the 2018 roadmap.
