I do, occationally, look through WNPP bugreports. If you consider 1 hour old bugreports stale, then you are free to ignore older ones - noone told you to "waste" time on them. Please, when talking in absolutes (like they're misleading") then please provide some more information on how you come to that conclusive judgement on behalf of all thousands of Debian contributors. Alternatively (because that might indeed be a waste of time), please consider framing personal opinions as such, not as absolutes. Reason I encourage you to do that is that I want to discuss with you, and I find it easier to discuss when the conversation is easy to separate opinion from fact. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ * Sponsorship: https://ko-fi.com/drjones [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
