Comment 44 for bug 424132

It got too big for many reasons.

1) OO was no where near ready for Alpha, let alone beta when it went out
2) Nobody edited the bug description when it was first file to restrict it to
something they thought would be manageable.
3) Roughly 80% of the problems could realistically point back to the file
dialog in an end user's eyes.
4) The bug reporting system is poorly designed. It encourages users to file
their bugs under a heading which closely matches their problem. Let one
heading appear with the text "utterly broken" and that is going to match 90%
of the bug reports in a user's eyes.
