I don't get it. If you are choosing not to receive the bug traffic, by doing this, why would you argue in favor of making everyone receive that traffic? More people getting the mail doesn't mean more people with the time to read, respond, and patch for it. The problem isn't that no one knows how to follow the bug system, just the limited number of people with the patience and time to do so. -- Daniel Jacobowitz CodeSourcery
