[Martin v. Loewis]

:-) I personally don't see it as a problem that bug reports are piling up. The GCC GNATS has 1341 "open" bug reports (meaning either "open" or "analyzed") at the moment. bugzilla.mozilla.org reports 19611 bugs in the "open" categories. Microsoft reportedly has over 60000 open reports for Windows 2000. Neither of these groups despair :-)

If any language I worked on previously had a few hundred open bug reports (not counting feature requests), we would have shut the group down and pursued a new implementation. If you can get the open bugs to fit on one screen, it tends to stay that way; once it spills over a screen, it appears there's no bound on how many additional screens are tolerated (0, 1, infinity). I'm doing my part by reducing my font size and buying a much larger monitor .
