Nothing is broken. There is no "bug" to fix. No. Things can be broken. There are almost always bugs to fix.

Version bumps do not necessarily add features; just because they have the potential to add features doesn't mean they don't fix actual bugs. > Maybe you don't use bugzilla like that but some people do and > lumping these bugs in with the "normal" ones prevents them from doing > so. Using "enhancement" prevents them from importing upstream bug fixes. --=20 With kind regards, Tom Wijsman (TomWij) Gentoo Developer E-mail address : TomWij@gentoo.org GPG Public Key : 6D34E57D GPG Fingerprint : C165 AF18 AB4C 400B C3D2 ABF0 95B2 1FCD 6D34 E57D --Sig_/JFoQ9qwdeyuJjqX4be86w1c Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.20 (GNU/Linux) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJRnvnsAAoJEJWyH81tNOV9IskIALVSulXGEw9f/1TCibeG2SNj ZeZG107zxC5CVJm4ODZHW79bdSShQ1m1JjJWjj6z5uULPOJxkyD2lzbAKG7rBMiz KFh0LRDczEoma2QV/N/m/UyMz6gFR3sEotpTmLuxbrIIkIK5PnLrnLIVUXFbkGOL 0lIgvX3caJQ8pqF2VyP+Mt5suX4OBeAr9wEosdQ+lAitomMiJjwdwDKYnbWzAsRd 2zinFqb/5KgFd95f/EwmskmmtpwgMYTUD6mJiu9/Hm2Cw+R7MCSK0l0Erazv/lQH F4PtM30XDWmdwJrvuEkUwFHysL1xPEE/kH3uwTFuc4ERt9yhCD67T5hxB/SMnvw= =6Qax -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/JFoQ9qwdeyuJjqX4be86w1c--
