200 release critical bugs isn't as dire as you might think. I spent an hour with rc-alert reading through the release critical bugs in packages I have installed. They are almost all resolved but not accepted to the testing release or in some phase of being resolved and could not benefit from my help. I finally found one that had not been addressed and after three hours of study and an email exchange with the upstream author confirmed it was just some old text left in the man page when the API changed. It was demoted to be not release critical. Extrapolating wildly: a couple thousand man hours should finish Lenny. I think in general, asking the users to use rc-alert is a waste of the user's time until they can filter out the bugs that are already being fixed.
