I guess I'm used to the system at work here, where bugs get file and assigned quickly, but are then ignored, rather than filed but not assigned quickly, and then ignored :-) I just don't like the "bottomless pits". At least somebody is marked responsible for the bug, even if they are fully justified in not fixing it due to lack of time, etc. -Archie ___________________________________________________________________________ Archie Cobbs * Whistle Communications, Inc. * http://www.whistle.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
