Maybe you are right about the blanket statements. But I'm no hacker. So I 
can't write code. All I know I can do is writing bug reports (Which I already 
do) and say what I think to animate people to reconsider some things (What 
I've tried with the first post). But if a bug report has to be written, it is 
already to late in a way (Hope you see what I mean). That applies only for 
major releases and for obvious bugs of course.
