There surely can't be much difference?

Should anyone want to drink from the firehose that is 'redhat kernel bugzilla', let me know, and I'll see if I can't get a fedora-kernel-bugs mailing list or the like set up. Some subsystem maintainers (ACPI for example) really help out here, and add acpi-bugzilla@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx to all the Fedora ACPI bugs. (I believe that list actually gets bug reports from other distro bugzillas too) (There's also a few 'meta-bugs' -- enter FCMETA_ACPI as a bug id and you get a link to a dependancy tree showing all the ACPI bugs reported. There's a bunch of those for various subsystems which makes it a little easier to track, though again, it's time-consuming just sorting through stuff). Off the top of my head, theres one for USB, SCSI, ACPI, ALSA, SATA (All with FCMETA_ prefix) Some of them are a bit sparse due to lack of time & effort so far.
