I have had several bugs closed withing minutes, with a copy pasted excuse, because they are reported against 11.4 and 12.2 is coming.
This is demeaning!
Why on earth should I care and report bugs, if nobody is going even to read them!
Carlos,
This was me closing them... no problem to state it.
Not only you.
Then it was a timing co-incidence :)
Yes, I did close > 200 bugs that were reported against 11.2, 11.3 and very few 11.4 (less critical ones) after verifying they are fixed in 12.2.
Do you in all honesty expect a maintenance update for fixing a bug in 11.2? No? Good.. the we agree on that.
I have bugs for 11.4 in which I have invested many hours without a single comment from the team. Not even "do not bother, we are not going to read your work".
Indeed, your work is surely appreciated, by all bug-hunters. I can't speak for others, but at least the bugs I closed, I can assure you, I read them (so I did not go for 'mass close' option), and tried to assess if the problem is actually still there or not (a bunch of bugs I moved even to 12.2, as they are still there). I can only re-advise: depending on severity, verify if the bug at least is fixed in 12.1 or 12.2. If it is, and the bug is of a not-so-critical nature or might have a documented work around, then I'm not sure how realistic a maintenance update is... in some cases it might be simple, or not. No general statement possible
Still, I repeat it again: IF the problem is still there in a maintained version, feel free to open a bug. If the problem is 'minor' in 11.4 and fixed in 12.1, then there is predictably few chance to release a maintenance update.. unless somebody steps up and actually DOES do the work for this.
11.4 is a maintained version.
Indeed, it is (for about 4 more months). That's why I say: 'uncritical' things might not be backported... this is nothing new, and had been always the case IIRC.
