I would, but I'm starting graduate coursework this month. Sorry.

No. What I said is, "make the KDE devs check their code changes with 
regression tests so that the KDE bugzilla doesn't contain 6000+ bugs of 
which 2/3 are still unconfirmed because they don't have time to check 
them out properly." Does this make more sense to you?

So what you're saying is that skrew the average end-user; the only thing 
the KDE devs care about is if it works for them. This is how you just 
came across. Is this accurate?
