Low bug triage activity all around

[David]

There are no guiding processes, just endless wiki's, there is no 
discussion or community, just irc. When a fix was attempted of the 
previous issues they were both shot down.

Regardless Ubuntu isn't a community distro anymore, it's not maintained 
by volunteer's, it's not built by the linux community for the linux 
community, it's a product of canonicals and goes in the direction they 
want it to go. Ubuntu is just as much a community as is the Red Hat 
community. Last I saw:

http://bregmatter.wordpress.com/2012/12/19/canonical-targets-unity-shell-maintenance-for-13-04/

"for the first time we have a full team dedicated exclusively to the 
goal of fixing problems in the existing Unity desktop shell software."

If Canonical wants to maintain something, they will.

Tis why I don't triage much anymore.
