Many bugs are fixed in Fedora. Many more bugs are fixed in the upstreams. Please remember that Fedora is primarily an *integration* project, and the best way to get bugs fixed is for the developers of the code in question to be involved. Many Fedora maintainers help facilitate this for users, which is awesome, but the sheer number of bugs exceeds what even our large contributor community can address. I know it sucks when an issue that affects you doesn't get fixed in a timely manner, but we really do appreciate reports and it's helpful if you can retest and reopen EOL bugs if they do indeed still happen in the newer version. Of course, if you _really_ need something fixed and want someone on the hook to do it for you, I suggest Red Hat's commercial offering. > Now Fedora goes Gentoo, which I moved away from because of exactly > what Fedora finally goes for.
