That's talking about the behaviour of *the person posting the comment*. That's not who I'm talking about. I'm talking about *people who run Fedora*, who notice an issue with their system after installing a particular update. A perfectly normal thing to do in that case is to go and look at the update in question in Bodhi. A comment added to that update will be seen by such a user. It is much harder for our poor user to go and look up a bug in Bugzilla, because it's a much more cumbersome system to use and there may well be several hundred other bug reports on the same package. Finding one caused by the specific update in question may well require finicky search work the user may not have the ability/inclination to carry out. > Closing comments on a stable update will force users to refer to BZ, so > that maintainers can focus on that channel.

Again, not the 'user' I'm talking about. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
