Well, I filed those matplotlib bugs, and, while I agree with you on the specific point that in this case they were spurious, I propose that running example scripts (or data, or tutorial, or whatever) is a reasonable and productive test case. I collaborated in fixing a longstanding bug in Tcl/BLT that was first documented as a demo crash. It doesn't look good when the application-provided examples crash. I see that it's a complex issue between the upstream and packagers, but I think the policy should be "it either runs or gives a clear message that it's unsupported" -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
