I work on fixing bugs when I have time - which is usually short. So I go =

into bugtracker, choose few bugs and work on fixing them. I do not have =

time to follow threads on forums to see does someone triggered something =

which need to be fixed.

We spend our *free* time to provide distribution for users (nevermind does =

they are normal users or developers). If they prefer to spend their time =

on discussions without giving any sign of that bug to distro developers =

then let them do not complain that this is not fixed.

To have something which we can mark as *stable* first it has to go through =

testing. You want us to stop release images and work on fixing bugs in =

private and few years later release something stable? It does not work =

that way when developers do it in free time. =


Go buy Windows Mobile device if you want more or less tested release.

 BSD is what you get when a bunch of Unix hackers sit down to try to port
 a Unix system to the PC. Linux is what you get when a bunch of PC hackers
 sit down and try to write a Unix system for the PC.
