I haven't seen any significant numbers of complaints. What exactly
about those arches do you think is a problem?
The speed at which bugs are resolved is the problem. Keywording/stable
bugs can sit for months and sometimes over a year without being
touched. Some people think the amount of time some arches lag behind
is acceptable, I don't. The primary reason why arches lag is that we
don't have enough people doing the testing and keywording.
You should only raise expectations when you know you can follow through,
not the other way around. Raising expectations before being able to
follow through leads to disappointment, which is bad.
I think that if we implement my suggestions (drastically reducing the
workload), we will be able to meet those expectations.
