There's no RH employee whose actual job involves triaging bugs in Fedora. There's maybe four or five of us who might do it as an on-the-clock-volunteering sort of deal, I suppose. I'm not going to bother having three versions of Fedora installed to do it, though. > Considering the problems I (and importantly, others) > had with the HP DC7700 I think I would expect RH to acquire some (it's a > corporate desktop system and I know RHEL customers use them). I wouldn't be surprised if RH has some somewhere, and they may well be tested. By the RH QA team. For RHEL. =) We're a rather different operation. Practically speaking, people use Fedora on such a bewildering array of hardware configurations that it's not practical to expect RH or anyone else to go out and spend money to try and reproduce all hardware scenarios. I should add that I'm talking in terms of practicality here, and taking into consideration that we have not many active triagers trying to triage a very large amount of bugs. In that situation, it's sometimes better to triage 100 bugs without reproduction at an accuracy rate of 85% than it is to triage 15 bugs with reproduction at an accuracy rate of 95%. IMHO, anyway.
