	I will not advocate Bugzilla or mantis or any other bug tracking
software for gEDA that I have to install/maintain.  Why?  Because I simply
do not have the time to install, configure, and maintain it and nobody
has really stepped forward to volunteer for such unappreciated tasks.
I have been spending way too much of my time maintaining infrastructure
(instead of coding and bug fixing) and quite frankly nobody seems to
care about such things anyways (or rather I should state that nobody
wants to help with such things).  I've been considering tossing any gEDA
infrastructure that I have to maintain in favor of either somebody else
maintaining it or simply living without it.

	In other news... I have taken steps to getting a new bug
tracker for gEDA/gaf (which I won't have to maintain at all), so please
standby and I'll post a link once it is up and running.

	I do agree that the mailing list are for not bug submitting
and after the gEDA/gaf bug tracker goes live, I will ask that all bugs
be submitted to the tracker and not the mailing list.

Please note, that PCB does have a bug tracker so please submit all
bugs there.

**People who fail to use an existing mechanism will be removed from
the list.**

As you can tell, my patience is almost gone too.
