Now why would I have read that? Maybe you are all about bugzilla and mediawiki, but I am not reading them every day, that is your job. My job is trying out the software and when I find something that may be a problem ask if anyone has a simple solution, and if it is a bug check to see if there is a solution, if not submit a bug report. Then you and the other developers are supposed to fix the bug or provide assitance to get additional information so you can fix the bug. It is part of the social contact : We don't get charged to use the software, but have to help when we find bugs, so that the people who pay outrageous amounts for RHEL do not have to put up with many serious bugs. The software is supposed to be stable when put into FC, where it is more thoroughly tested by end users, who are willing to put up with some bugs. It is not supposed to be BETA testing that is what rawhide is for. I guess you might call it tertiary or DELTA testing. There is no abrogation of responsibility for the proper testing by the developers. There is also no call for uncongenial comments or magniloquence, we just want straight answers.
