Wrong! it pre-filters bug reports, to make sure there is all the valid
information, leaving code maintainers to get on with it!

And as to regarding point 1 you make, I have never heard so much rubbish
in my life. Every time I filed a bug report the package maintainers have
done their best. Sometimes I request or point out an issue and code
versions get bumped up by the package maintainer.

Maybe your experience varies, but mine is I just pointed out.

I am starting to wonder if you are on some kind of anti Red Hat hate
mission, as I have yet to see any full discussion about this issue.

No pros no cons.

This is not how one makes an argument!

Please also note, I do NOT work for Red Hat! Just in case you think I am
some kind of fan boy/employee.

Give some good points, maybe I will change my mind. For instance that
the bugzilla is a bit slow at times, which is a bit annoying. But that
is still not a reason to throw something that works, out of the window.

So, PLEASE! Where are the arguments for and against this proposal.

Regards,

Tristan
