| Point to one important posting thats been ignored in recent times.

It can be difficult to tell the difference.

| I still think you're solving a non-problem. Of the 180 or so bugs so
| far, there has been _1_ vendor kernel report. 1 2.4 report. and
| 1 (maybe 2) undecoded oopses (which were subsequently decoded less
| than 24hrs later.

| In an ideal world, we'd never have that many open bugs 8-)
| Realistically, I check bugzilla a few times a day, I notice
| when something new has been added. Near the end of each week
| I[*] go through every remaining open bug looking to see if there's
| something additional that can be added / pinging old reporters /
| closing dead bugs. Dupes usually stand out doing this.
| How exactly do you plan to automate dupe detection ?
| You can't even do things like comparing oops dumps, as they
| may have been triggered in different ways,.

| [*] and hopefully, I'm not the only one who does this.
Yes, I go thru them fairly often also, looking for patches or to apply some
patches to close some if possible.
I hope we aren't the only ones...
