Heh. Well, actually, everyone I've talked to here and on #flightgear
has been very very friendly. It's not so much fear of anyone's wrath
as just wanting to be kind. I've personally been in other situations
where I was responsible for something that became broken, and after
being told for the fourth or fifth time that something was broken,
I was longing for a door sign that said "Yes, I know it's broken; tell
me it's broken again and you'll be replaced with a very small shell
script."

Fair enough. Most of my experience with BTSes has been regarding bugs
I've filed, or bugs that other people have filed that relate to some
problem I'm having, or whatever. The developers' perspectives are
necessarily different.
