--- Comment #13 from Paolo Carlini <paolo.carlini at oracle dot com> --- Curious, I understand, assuming they don't take new as a solid indication that a fix is forthcoming. assigned normally is more reliable for that, still not much more, unless, as I tried to explain, there are other reasons like the bug is a regression, a release is close, etc.
