Possibly he isn't. The points he raises are valid, though. |

I think Jeff has already asked the same question, but I'll |
| 17 |
ask it as well: "How?" |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
I use ~x86 so I can get early visibility of things and try to |
| 20 |
help out by logging bugs. I also run gentoo-stats in the vague hope |
| 21 |
that that will give some useful feedback. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
BUT: If I have no problems, I'll raise no bugs. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
So, how *precisely* do I, or anybody else, help the developers any further? |
| 26 |
I don't have time outside of my fulltime job and family to become |
| 27 |
a gentoo developer. As far as I can see, I'm doing as much as I can. |
| 28 |
And yet it appears that more is "needed". Should I raise "bugs" saying |
| 29 |
"works for me!"? Somehow I think not. |
