Hi,

For the record I think that number is buggy (and I raised that concerns 
during laste week discussions), it seems artificially low and we 
identified several issues in the system without explaining all of them 
nor their impact (the 90% drop which happened for lot of bugs on 
17/05/12 being one, the fact that bugs that fail retracing are not 
showing up on the lists, the fact that the first weeks stats seem much 
higher and that's the ones which give the first impression for users so 
that should be the number to consider for the choice, etc).

I'm not happy about the decision and how it was taken (in retrospect I 
wish I had brought the topic in front of the TB rather to have a "what 
is best for Ubuntu" project's discussion), let's move on but I don't 
consider the "met the requirement set forth by the desktop team" true so 
let's refrain from making it look like the desktop team agreed on or 
supports the decision.

Cheers,
Sebastien Bacher
