And to those with very little involvement in this community, it's disheartening to put in the work to report something and then feel that the report is ignored. Perception *is* reality in these cases, where you have essentially two communities: the programmers and the users. The users have to feel like their input is useful and actually used, lest they quit offering it. I'm not all that thrilled with Bugzilla myself, to tell you the truth. Bug #125587 is an example [1], filed on June 8th, with a few comments added in for good measure, and *nothing* done about it so far. IPv6 still loads and the system does not obey "NETWORKING_IPV6=no" as it should. Granted, that was the first bug I filed and I might have done better... but it was/is a legitimate problem and it bothered me that absolutely nothing was done about it. Or it sure looked that way. [1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=125587 Now, it so happens that I fully understand that you guys don't have all the time/resources/people/money you might like and that you're doing the best you can. I also respect what "the best you can" has produced so far.* So I will keep learning and attempting to contribute, and I will file more bugs and get more involved. This is not a complaint, it is constructive criticism. But that does not mean everyone else will. * With the single exception of the mailing-list archives which are an embarrassment to archives everywhere. Those just suck, truly and terribly, and they have absolutely no redeeming virtues whatsoever. Cheers, -- Rodolfo J. Paiz <rpaiz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
