Isnt that what the severity "enhancement" is for ? |

Sometimes, as the reported, you miss some important things. Okay. |
| 21 |
Then the wrangler (or whom else works onthr bug) simply should ask |
| 22 |
for more information. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
But if your bugs are always marked as invalid, you loose any |
| 25 |
motiviation for further contributions. Bug reports are also |
| 26 |
contribution. |

Maybe. And maybe I'm almost alone with using Coda on Gentoo, |
| 32 |
since the ebuilds are still very, very old. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
But did anyone ask why I'm using symlinks in my ff profile, |
| 35 |
or why the permission test might failed. Or did anyone tell |
| 36 |
"hey, be careful about [...], we need it fo [...]" ? |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
No. The whole issue was simply declared invalid. |

Not really. The symlinks are no problem for FF, it works perfectly |
| 45 |
well. And I *need* them to store temporary stuff locally. |
| 46 |
It's mozilla-launcher which artificially breaks if it *thinks* |
| 47 |
something could be wrong. |

Well, I'm working on lots of OSS projects for many many years. |
| 54 |
But I never ever felt being attacked by an bug report. |
