I don't think this is in general a good idea. People tend too quickly
that something is a bug. See the "X Windows apps crash when XForwarded
over ssh." topic here from today and the one on the developers list "FC3
DNS resolver issue". Ok, hard to handle when an exception is legitimate
;)

To what I see, there are Red Hat developers following the users list.
And they react if they see something occuring which may touch their
work. Dave Jones is watching the list, Ulrich Drepper does reply, Jakub
Jelinek, Daniel J. Walsh, Bill Nottingham, Nalin Dahyabhai, Tim Waugh,
Harald Hoyer, David Malcolm, ... (shall not be a complete list).

My intention was just to raise the focus on the fact, that FC3 is stable
now and people with usual user sorrows should recognize that testing
time for FC3 is over and the users list the more appropriate place.
Should just have been a pleasant reminder.
