The thing is, at any given time there are probably a hundred or more |
15 |
bugs assigned to arch teams with people whining for attention. At least |
16 |
two thirds of those whines are unhelpful and serve no purpose. |
17 |
Filtering out the legitimate calls for attention would take even more |
18 |
time away from fixing the things. |

So, unless you can recruit somebody *good* to let the arch teams know |
21 |
which bugs should be prioritised, the only thing that increasing |
22 |
communication would do is decrease the number of bugs that get fixed. |
