From: Davide Libenzi <davidel@xmailserver.org> Date: Fri, 27 Jun 2003 15:11:53 -0700 (PDT) Is a bug report more useful for the user of a "system" or for the "system" itself ? You can ask the same question about a patch, and my answer is the same, "it depends upon the bug/patch and whether the people it affects actually care about it". What's truly "useful" for the "system" are things that allow the people that maintain it to SCALE. Lossless bug and patch databases that force me to look at each and every item do not scale. What you don't understand is that I, and most of the people who help me, do this because I and they want to. So as soon as things get introduced that make us less "want" to do this you can be sure contributions will slump slowly but surely to nothing. - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
