Well neither does it do so from developer standpoint that also
has to maintain downstream distribution bugzilla accounts. <br>
<br>
Basically the amount of work and the effort are on par for both
parties as in reporter has to file multiple reports against
multiple package and the developer has to deal with multiple
reports against multiple distribution in multiple downstreams
etc. so arguing one has to do more work then the other is a mute
point at least as far as I see it. <br>

Given that this would the direction we take for the next 10 years
for the QA community and based on you responce I have to ask how do
you see the "traditional" desktop being relevant after all that time
and if so used by whom as in which target users ( novice end
users/power users/administrators )?<br>
<br>
Here in Iceland ( and I know that have started doing the same in
Denmark which means they are doing in other places in the world )
they are deploying tablets in schools not pc, which means the next
generation of tinkeres will be doing so on tablet or the evolution
of tablets at that time. <br>
<br>
They are handing out tablets with news paper subscriptions so slowly
the tablet is replacing the traditional pc as well as laptops for
the novice end users as well ( and pc are already starting to
collect dust here ), light portable with mobile network connectivity
and is at the same time running the same underlying OS as your
mobile phone so no extra learning curve for the end user to study
new OS. <br>
<br>
So from my point of view we wont be gathering reports from novices
end users in 10 years time.<br>
