Well, if you'll notice th list of resolved issues is going up way faster than the list of new issues.
<troll> (To put some oil on the fire:)But the number of new issues /is/ going up. I.e. the number of resolved issues is going way up, the number of new new issues is going way way up. That's how I read the graph.
(Please help to resolve issues, rather than spending time on the forum talking about it ;)
