Quite a few people have been "raising awareness" about bugs that they
have filed. I too have filed some seriously nasty bugs that make Gutsy
close to unusable for me (mostly to do with compiz and the -intel
driver being used by default). They are still sitting there without
having been looked at and we are about a week from release.

My point is simply this: the more people that "raise awareness" about
bugs, the more people will look at what is being mentioned and think
that their bugs are more important. This will mean that the list gets
clogged with messages like this and people will unsubscribe from the
list. If I want a list of high-priority bugs then I will search for
them in Launchpad.

There is a system in place already to triage and rate the importance
of bugs. If that system is broken then we need to fix it. Trying to
circumvent the system by posting to this list is not sustainable.

Feel free to disagree.

Regards,

Aaron
