The problem is that bugs in X tend to be device-specific (and hence only affect people who are unfortunate enough to own that exact device), but bugs in, say, Firefox affect everybody. The other issue is that the developers of, say, Firefox know crap all about fixing bugs in X. And vice versa. Coders aren't interchangeable resources, you don't just pick them at random and point them at problems. (Well, some people do. This appears to be how Windows is developed...) Even more specifically...Ben Skeggs (whose area of expertise is nouveau) might be able to fix basic bugs in radeon, but probably nothing complex. Not, at least, without a lot of extra training, during which time no-one's fixing bugs in nouveau. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
