Hi,

this is not particulary about unrar or Goswin...

http://bugs.debian.org/src:unrar shows me two unrelated bugs, none stating 
it's useless. 

I wonder why people rant here about bugs, instead of filing them in the 
appropriate places.

Ranting on -devel doesn't change things. (Sometimes its useful to make people 
aware, yes. But then, the next step is something else than ranting again.)


cheers,
