There are people directing work.  Module owners, and 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]  It's nice having it that way, because it's not a 
dictatorship with stuff like "Fix this problem now.  I don't care what 
happens for the good of the project, I want this one fixed cause it 
breaks my favorite site" (which we all know has 3 hits a month).  With 
an open source project with groups of people who guide the project, the 
likelyhood is that the entire browser will get better, instead of just 
things that appeal to the guy in charge.  

BTW, who said defects in software shouldn't be fixed?  If I said that, 
please do quote the relevant article number and piece of text for me.  
Otherwise, please don't put words in my mouth
