5 OK then, I'll do the research.

11 Precisely no comments after the initial report. Might be a problem,
12 might not.

18 Provides a manual fix to a problem. The problem might be environmental,
19 or it might be a build order dependency. Is this what you want of a
20 stable package?

27 Suggests manually merging arts-1.2.3 - shouldn't this be a DEPEND?
28 Isn't this a problem with the ebuild that means it isn't stable-ready?

34 Fair cop, others can't reproduce it.

40 Hardly likely to stop the show, but no comment since reported.

46 Provides workaround that disables part of the build to avoid the
47 problem. Is this what you want of a stable package?
48

53 Not commented on since it was reported.

56 So, we have a collection of NEW (not CLOSED, RESOLVED etc.) bugs overtly
57 against KDE 3.2.3. Some haven't been commented on since they were
58 reported. Others have been dealt with by manual workarounds that would
59 not necessarily be acceptable of an ebuild marked stable.
60
61 To say that, "Celeb has already delt with them," is simply not accurate.
62 (I make no judgement on Caleb or the others that have commented).
63
64 Now, it's my turn to make a suggestion: lose the attitude and run KDE
65 3.2.3 as-is (i.e. unstable) and provide feedback on the glitches so that
66 confidence in stability is bolstered. You could even help by clearing
67 these bugs.
