Distribution quotes of the week

I installed the Fedora 15 Alpha on my netbook a couple weekends ago. It boots well. What I can't figure out though is why people seem to see war and deterioration and disease and hate in it. I didn't get some Gnome ninja jumping out of the screen trying to decapitate me for opening a terminal. I didn't have a bunch of girl scouts show up at my door when I hit the expose key (though I would have gladly bought some Tagalongs if they did). The notification noises didn't sound like condescending hipster know-it-alls chiding me for changing a default or not wanting to be an OS-X-but-not-quite-fanboy.

I understand and appreciate the desire to close open bugs that are cluttering up the bugzilla. Not only do they create extra cruft for everyone to wade through, they also make Gentoo look bad (my GOD, they've got open bugs dating back to the founding of the Roman Empire!). However, I'm not convinced that blanket closing bugs that are over x days (weeks, months, years) is the best (or even desirable) approach.

+1 for the argument that 14000 open bugs is not a problem. Bugzilla is not something that needs to be clean and tidy. Closing them would generate a lot of work because of false positive while there is zero benefit.
