Kernel has 736[1] open bugs, including ones that corrupt data and make other packages fail to build. All but one affect actual users. Does the Social Contract really mandate that we should fix bugs affecting 0 users before dealing with bugs that actually degrade the user experience? If our priority really is users, we should fix those 735 bugreports first. And from the recent linux-2.6 uploads it seems that indeed kernel team gives priority to users.
