Wouldn't that be a problem for large projects such as gnome or firefox ? Devs would have to spend some precious time curating the bug tracker issues and explaining decisions and educating users instead of using the bug tracker for its intended use: to track bug.
- Dylan16807 14y agoWould? I'm not sure about gnome but firefox definitely has feature requests and planned features sitting in its tracker, with some of these created by the devs themselves for coordination.
- johnchristopher 14y agoWell... I am naive about collaborative software development :) Do users post to the firefox bug tracker when features are removed like in the gnome case ? How is it handled ?
- shabble 14y agoYep. There's one that bit me recently, where Esc key was previously able to stop GIF animations, and was very handy. Apparently, this behaviour was considered a bug, if a very long-lived one. So a recent update 'fixed' that behaviour, although the justification is stronger there, and the workaround (SuperStop addon[2]) is actually useful, although still on a different keybind (Shift-Esc) [1] https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=825486 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=825486 [2] https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/superstop/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/superstop/
