The problem isn't so much people marking stuff as broken when it's not as people marking stuff as working when it isn't. Classic example: anything related to ricerfs or gcc-4. See, it's a question of quality rather than numbers. One "it works" report from someone who knows what they're doing is worth far more than a thousand "it works" reports from random users. Expecting a large number of average Joe types to produce useful testing reports is like expecting a large number of average Joe types to produce a Wikipedia article on how quantum cryptography works or a large number of average Joe types to produce a Gentoo Wiki article on the design and internal workings of versionator.eclass. | Just openly brainstorming here.. There was a similar proposal from (?)rac a couple of years back. Might be worth looking at why arch teams hated it last time around. --=20 Ciaran McCreesh : Gentoo Developer (Look! Shiny things!)
