Comment 20 for bug 154349

Weather its a paper cut issue or a functionality failure, why are reported bugs left open and not addressed for years at a time ? Maybe someone should think about an Ubuntu release that focuses on catching up on all the outstanding bugs reported over the last 4 or 5 years ? I know for a fact that some of them I reported are STILL there and leaves the impression that I'm wasting time testing and reporting if only the important bugs have time to get fixed. Ever hear of spit and polish ? tighten up the ship ? crossing the T's and dotting the I's ? Some bugs get fixed only to return in the next release even, thats frustrating to AVERAGE users who don't know advanced CLI work arounds.
