At the risk of sounding waffle-ish in what amounts to a "me too" post
(and knowing full well I have not contributed code to OpenAFS in a long
time), let me just chime in here and say... You're both right!
We all have too much work to do. Not taking the time to report bugs
insures that all of us will spend more time dealing with the
consequences of old bugs rather than moving on to more interesting
problems. In other words, you have too much work to justify _not_
supporting efforts to improve code -- i.e. reporting bugs with the tools
provided.
Um, yeah. Me too.
