>People who look for, find, and comment in bug reports are disproportionately those who notice and are annoyed by software's current behavior. People who don't notice, don't care about, or agree with, current behavior don't go looking for bug reports about it.
I strongly disagree. You aren't taking into account people who notice and are annoyed, but don't know anything about bug reports--or even what to call "the annoying bubble thingies that won't ever go away". Before discovering launchpad, or the forums, or making an account, they'll get frustrated, give up and think this, Ubuntu, and/or Linux are [insert expletive here]--and use something else. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to notify-osd in Ubuntu.
