could this not also be a matter of licensing? I know a lot of guys who
write various types of programs ... some are free and/o easy to license
, and others simply are not, they are intended as commercial products
....
I know how frustrating it is to feel one's feedback isn't recieved or
at least not paid attention to .. but , frankly , I'd rather the Suse
guys kept working on the next version ... most likely fixoring the same
bugs that people have noted. Since those packages are usually installed
by some folksas the variuous packages become available ... it must be
equally maddening to get these messages from users and not be able to
figure out exactly what verions of which pieces are causing the
headaches. After all we keep hearing from users here that they "haven't
got time to read all that stuff" perhaps some of the suse folks suffer
from verbage fatigue as well ??
BTW is bugzilla easily licensed ??
