And you going to provide the extra man-power required to track bugs this way, right? This means keeping an eye on many more bugs where a discussion is still going on. Unless you have convincing proof that it happens often that valid bugs are closed as INVALID, I think we should change nothing, I have seen a discussion similar to your description of a bug discussion only once, and in this case the bug master was right. It is equally frustrating for gcc bugmasters that some user thinks it is OK to keep re-opening a bug report because his/her opinion is The One Opinion. This is something that happens a lot. "There is nothing to gain in frustrating bugmasters" ;-) Maybe every once in a while a bugmaster closes a bug report too quickly, but at least the bugmasters get a useful job done. If you compare the state of our bug database now with the mess of a couple of years ago, we are much better off now. Gr. Steven
