IMO this list serves people much better by concentrating on the problems with the current stable release. Posting problems about unstable is ridiculous, I vote that things like that should go to launchpad/ubuntu-dev. I don't want to hear that lib6c is broken in a version that hasn't even been released yet. Then the next day something is broken in lib7c or something stupid. What useful purpose does it serve on this list?<BR>
