Wontfixing this shows an attitude that SUSE has no longer has interest in being best of breed.
That's very close to saying "Oh, those lazy bastards don't drop whatever they do right away and take care of my favourite problem". Frankly, I spent way too much on a non-issue like this already. And I am not prepared to spend any more time on it. I explained thoroughly why. If you are unwilling to accept that, there is nothing I can (or want to) do for you.
If current assignee has no time or interest, leave it open and unassigned so someone else might.
Yeah, sure, leave it unassigned. To make sure in 10 minutes one of our bug-reassignment people take care of it and assign it to whomever they think is the right person. That would be me. You don't seem to know how our business processes work, yet you are telling me how to do my work. This does not work out. You know, I could also do what many others do and set an issue like that to LATER, promising I'd take care of it some time in the future. But since I know that would be a fake promise, I don't do that. I consider it important to remain honest with people. If I know something will never happen, I tell people so. But I expect the same level of respect from the other side. After I have given an issue some thought, looking at it from all possible sides, and evaluating the pros and cons of any apparent solution, there is a decision. That decision might be "we will do it" (now -> ACCEPT, later -> LATER, whatever), "we could do it, but it would be an economic nightmare" (way too expensive) -> WONTFIX, "we could do it, but the result would be unmaintainable" -> WONTFIX, or "you only see part of the problem, your proposed solution will have bad effects on other users in other cases" -> INVALID. If you don't want honesty, please reopen this, so I can set it to LATER and leave it to rot forevermore.
After all, this is OpenSUSE, not proprietary take or leave it M$-ware.
Frankly, I have yet to see the first code contribution from the community to any of this. There are some very active people who file bug reports, some others who make suggestions (sometimes with good ideas, sometime the ideas are ..err.. too creative to be feasible), but I have not yet received one single patch for any of my YaST2 packages.
And, this is about 10.3 (as originally filed), not 10.2. It's about improving, not making perfect.
It's not about 10.3 because THERE IS NO 10.3 YET. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
