Stupid and tiresome. Of course problems exist regardless of bug reports. And why should it be illegal to discuss a possible problem to find out if anyone else has either experienced it or has any other insight into it before moving on to the stage of calling it a bug and invoking the bug tracking machinery and possibly wasting developers time? It's called putting out a feeler. A thing you do to find out if some issue is just you or not before you go claiming you have a problem that might not actually exist.
Yes bugzilla is a more efficient tracking tool and helps gather statistics and collate experiences& observations better, but you don't go filing a damned bugzilla every time your mouse freezes for a second or or something.
If you really want hair trigger bug reports of every user experienced glitch regardless if they are bugs or not, then you shouldn't call it filing a "bug" in "bugzilla" but something that lets the user know it's ok to write anything at all in there and they won't be chastised for filing false bug reports nor ignored in the future if they file many such.
Not rocket science.
Certainly not rocket science, need to be able to read/comprehend before placing foot it mouth to act as an ass! Above quoted lines should be read before commenting.
I didn't miss those lines. It has no bearing on what I was saying. What was that about being an ass and feet in mouths? -- bkw -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
