Well, let me expand how see it. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
If we require that dev needs to touch *every* bug against the package to |
| 12 |
avoid it being orphaned, we introduce a silly case of accidentally |
| 13 |
orphaning packages just because developer failed to touch a single bug. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Therefore, some developers would just touch all bugs ASAP to avoid |
| 16 |
the problem. However, it would only verify that the package is |
| 17 |
'maintained' at a time the bug is filed and not afterwards. |
