I agree, currently the LATER acts as a blackhole and there is no structured process to re-evaluate these kind of bugs.
I have done a lot of reading of these bugs and many were filed 3 to 5 years ago, I think it's better to say WONTFIX then to suggest that this is something that is going to be fixed. It is about expectation management :) On Tue, Nov 29, 2011 at 2:53 PM, Merlijn van Deen <[email protected]>wrote: > On 29 November 2011 19:45, Diederik van Liere <[email protected]> wrote: > > > The question is, when is LATER?
