Ok - if I understand your logic correctly...You don't bother reporting
bugs to the bugzilla system that is designed to connect the package
maintainers to the bug reporters because they haven't fixed the bugs
that you reported (though a search for your e-mail address in bugzilla
turned up nada) and you think that bugs ***might*** get fixed if you
report them here even though few of the package maintainers monitor
this
list.

Extending your logic, I don't understand why the President doesn't
bring
the troops home from Iraq.

Aaron - the system isn't perfect but it's the best system that we have
and it exists to benefit all users - the important part of the
equation
is that people report bugs because that is where the process starts
(at
least hopefully). Recognize that a bug report on FC-6 at this point
might very well be too late to have much impact on the first release
of
FC-7

I am not going to defend my experiences with FC6. I know that other
people had different experiences. But the next message in the thread is
from someone who cold not get his machine to shut off.
I will ,however,defend my honesty. I said that an unsuccessful bugzilla
was posted for the machine shutting off problem and for yumex. I did not
say I posted it. I did not. I have not posted bugzilla posting recently
because I am frustrated with the process. I know it is the thing that
should work but it doesn't for me. In the future I will try harder.

II guess the bottom line is that FC6 is not the best system we've got.
For me FC5 was better.
