It works badly for kernel patches, stuff does get lost forever, missed etc. Having it all archived somewhere is really valuable because it means you can spot patterns, trends and also when someone who isnt a hacker hits the bug *they* can find the patch you missed and send it on or remind you You are assuming there is a relationship in bug severity/commonness and number of *developers* who hit it. That isnt true, developer and end user hardware patterns are radically different in some areas |
