--- Comment #9 from Paolo Carlini <paolo.carlini at oracle dot com> --- By the way, much more generally, I'm under the impression that often bug submitters attach way too much importance to the status change unconfirmed -> confirmed: I think it would be easy to prove that quite often bugs are fixed when still unconfirmed or that hard bugs are fixed when maintainers actually can do the work (eg, the timeframe when a bug is filed matters much more than its confirmed status to predict whether it will be fixed soon)
