I see your point. The same rationale, however, would support sending a report of each new bug filed to the list. Everyone on the list *could* ignore anything that they weren't interested in. > Also, the fact that the release is close, to me means that any major > bugs should pass by more eyes and get more attention. Most people tend to see their bugs as major. I don't mean to lessen the frustration of your plight, but not being able to view a pdf on a password restricted site isn't the most major bug that I have seen filed against Gutsy. In some ways there is a problem with the way users can't rate the importance of their own bugs. I filed a bug about suspend locking up my laptop every time it is used and one about the default spellchecker for NZers being en_US instead of en_UK. Clearly one is more important than the other, but they have the same "importance" prior to being triaged. The counter-argument, I assume, is that normal people can't be trusted to objectively rate the importance of their bugs. I have grave issues with Gutsy... especially seeing as it is about a week from release. I have tested each milestone since pre-Breezy for the LaptopTesting reports and Gutsy is the least stable for me yet. That is largely, as I said earlier, a result of -Intel and Compiz. I filed my reports against each package and they are still sitting there untouched. So perhaps you are right that I should have pestered the list instead. I just don't see it as being a good policy. To be fair, I have now succeeded in generating more noise than the recent bug "awareness raising" has!
