Is Canonical against Kubuntu (2): the bug tracking disaster

[Steven Vollom]

IMO.  The people who contribute and do the actual work should set the 
priorities for all the work, even when it serves their private agendas to do 
work outside popular opinion.  Perhaps all Bug repair requests should be Bug 
repair wishes, since they serve the special interest of those who don't 
necessarily participate in solutions.

Should an unpaid contributing developer be required by non-contributors to do 
work on a higher list of importance, when his or her chosen contribution is to 
improve a lesser need?  I think not.  Progress is progress.

Additionally, who should have the right to decide the order of scheduling of 
the work, a non-contributing source of input, or the creator and staff of the 
project.

IMO.  Those who serve this List, by helping those with problems, should have a 
voice of high priority on the bug servicing WISH list, because they are 
contributing to the success of the project.  Non contributors should be 
allowed to add their requests at a much lesser order of importance, and 
developers of the system should be able to do the work, as they see fit, 
regardless of the opinions of anyone else.

The brain that drives the dog to wag his tail controls, whether you like it or 
not.  The tail that wants to wag the dog may WISH to, however improbable.

It is my hope that this is not just the actions of another OS spoiler trying 
to create dissension among the faithful.
