Unfortunately some make bug report, then don't respond with
information required to investigate the problem.
Whilst sometimes, the problem may be easily reproducible by Novell
staff, other times it is not, but reliant on having certain hardware
combinations.
This leads to the situation where, bugs go unfixed from release to
release, and also don't get upstreams attention.
So actually, there is a shortage of the right kind of persistent well
motivated "testing" which is needed by developers to fix.

There's three answers to that. 1) Testing, 2) Testing, 3) Testing.
I daresay, any issue that isn't found during the current testing stage
is going to be rare enough to be insignificant (in contrast with the
thousands of known ones).
