I'd rather have people ignore trolls (hi Enrico in disguise) |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
If something is broken and _NOBODY_ noticed it before either: |
| 17 |
- it isn't a showstopper for most of the devs and we hadn't got the |
| 18 |
complaints from our users |
| 19 |
- it should be p.masked or updated with medium priority. |

|
| 21 |
if our favourite cu-troll wants to point that some programs written by a |
| 22 |
dog are ugly he could use the same time to fill a proper bug and or |
| 23 |
provide patches. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
that said releng has the duty to just provide a livecd that works and |
| 26 |
stages that could be used to start getting a working system and I think |
| 27 |
they succeeded as usual. |

There are some known issue pointed already but nothing could be perfect. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
"Release quickly & release often" maybe isn't really THE solution, but |
| 32 |
"make it to the deadline decently well and plan a -r1 to address some of |
| 33 |
the known issues that could hit more people in the future(eg new hw |
| 34 |
support)" looks good enough. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
that said I hope that the sales on trollfood will end ... |
