The thing is, at any given time there are probably a hundred or more bugs assigned to arch teams with people whining for attention. At least two thirds of those whines are unhelpful and serve no purpose. Filtering out the legitimate calls for attention would take even more time away from fixing the things. So, unless you can recruit somebody *good* to let the arch teams know which bugs should be prioritised, the only thing that increasing communication would do is decrease the number of bugs that get fixed. --=20 Ciaran McCreesh Mail : ciaranm at ciaranm.org Web : http://ciaranm.org/ as-needed is broken : http://ciaranm.org/show_post.pl?post_id=3D13 --Sig_z_y/EdLdArIML2CdGYSJ44G Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFFRpng96zL6DUtXhERAugMAKCfdd4u8KVnr+rWm+uzfOGicRcWxQCfb5to 8H/TKlYUI/zEuPvVntbSr8Q= =LmMI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_z_y/EdLdArIML2CdGYSJ44G-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
