I do. I think that we should clarify that bug reporting is good but only if people have time/knowledge to submit "good reports" aka : - check if it has already been reported - be able to find the name of the package that is probably causing the trouble - justify the severity of the bug - be able to respond to developer's questions quickly (aka we shouldn't have to wait months before getting an answer) I've closed 10 important bugs reports this morning because the gnome-core source package has been installed before the new gnome-libs (because the ftpmaster hgave to add a new package) and the same guy reported it ten times (one for each binary package of the source package) ... And I agree with you that the severity of bugs that occur only in special situation don't need to be important.
