Wow! That would need to be a real expert, because many bug reports require a lot of insight into the affected component in order to decide whether a bug report is good or NOTABUG (i.e. due to misconfiguration, h/w instability, unofficial upgrades and replaced packages, for instance). Very often it's really just the developers who know what has changed recently or whether something is supposed to work or should be supported. -- Fedora Core release 2 (Tettnang) - Linux 2.6.8-1.541 loadavg: 0.30 0.13 0.09
