Comment 99 for bug 375345

Dan: I don't recall opening this bug report.... nor do I recall commenting on it in a way that is either for, or against. Other people volunteered their time to Improve Ubuntu/Ubuntu One and did so. In my prior comments above, I have not (I believe) attempted to pass any judgment on its value, nor have I wished to.

What I *did* [pro-actively] do was to forward it to a more suitable forum---this is bug report covering a social issue, not a technical one; social issues are not generally solvable with technical solutions, and bug trackers are primarily suited to technical issues. I was finding the status fight unpleasant to watch from across the street three months ago, and the status-quo during that time has remained sufficient to break the cycle of back-and-forth Confirmed/Won't Fix.

Dan: When people are upset, I can bribe them with ice-cream; but I'm stuck on how to make everyone here happy (including developers with this damned report stuck in their bug lists). What would you (constructively) recommend doing in a way that does not seek to pass judgment on its merits?

(Sadly, the worsening global economic downturn has affected the supply of expired steeds and lead to a shortage!).
