In general or because of the EOL script creating a flood? ;) Who classifies whether an incoming bug report is important or not? Right, the maintainer. If a maintainer seems to ignore a bug report due to time constraints or other factors, why should the reporter spend additional efforts on performing retests at all? > They may be able to pay attention to one or a few, but not all.

No. Waiting six months before asking a bug reporter to retest N bugs with a different distribution release just doesn't fly. And if the bug reporter retests and confirms that a bug is still reproducible, does that make it more likely that there will be a fix? So far, it doesn't. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
