see, i do not have an issue with people finding bugs. i do not have an issue with people who expect the stable packages to work.
i do have an issue with folks that miss the devel point. who use broken stuff and demand it to be not broken. this is not only with meamo the case: you have something labled: stable/working and instead of that they take the things labled unstable/devel/experimental and then complain it realy is unstable.
i have an issue with that, because this behavior leads to a situation in which the devs have to do their experiments and theit developement behind closed doors and only make finished, fully functional, tested stuff public. i have an issue with that for i do like to see the work of others even though it is not finished because that might help me to solve a similar problem or save me the trouble of doing the same work already done by others again. and i want to see the work in the open for there might be someone out there with a brilliant idea to a problem.
i also have an issue with that because you need a bootloader for all kind of projects. it's good if all the projects try to get it in so that they will work smoothly together and not break each others stuff. and again if that happens behind closed doors you can not try to make things work smoothly together for you don't know what the others do or already have done. so i realy like to have the devel stuff in the open. and ask those who use that stuff to respect that it is such: under construction.
if devel stops being devel - that is being inherently broken - you can close it down alltogether and only have a stable branch. that is what i have a real issue with. and i also have an issue with measuring devel stuff,things under construction, based on the number of bugs and unactivated features instead of the potential they have and what it will be. the possibility to resolve issues.
you just don't go to a construction site and and demand to stop the construction for there are no carpets on the floor and no glass in the windows - and on top reason that with: "look, others also found that this house has no carpets it realy has no carpets".
well... never mind ..
