We don't have the resources for all this stuff, to be honest. I'd never
seen any of the bugs you link in this mail before. There is no QA-matron
which sees all bugs filed in Fedora, I'm afraid. There's a small group
of monkeys running as fast as we can to keep up with release validation
and update testing, pretty much.
