But I'm not sure if this is bad: * Do we have any reliable knowledge whether people actually do it ? * Is it maybe a good idea to have certain bugs duplicate, so we can see whats more important (many bugs -> greater problem ?) * Are all the bugs, currently considered as duplicate (by users intenting to file one) really duplicate ? * Is the additional information more valuable than the probably additional work of linking together duplicate bugs ? cu -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt == metux IT service - http://www.metux.de/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please visit the OpenSource QM Taskforce: http://wiki.metux.de/public/OpenSource_QM_Taskforce Patches / Fixes for a lot dozens of packages in dozens of versions: http://patches.metux.de/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
