Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] FW: [Doug on the Eclipse CDT] New comment on "Eclipse smells kind of dead"???.

Igor,

I think it's even stronger than that. In the end, WONTFIX shouldn't mean "I don't have time or I don't feel like it" but rather "it's working as designed and changing it isn't what I believe is appropriate". As such, even if someone provided a "fix," that's not what's desired. Committers have the right and in fact an obligation to maintain design integrity; sometimes that annoys people. In any case, we're not obligated to spend every waking moment of every day to fix every reported problem, though it sometimes feels that way....

Regards,
Ed

How is this going to help? In most/all cases bugs are not fixed because
nobody comes forward with quality fixes. Weather somebody says "it needs
to be fixed" does not matter unless his/her words are backed up by the
code.

Hi

Get a committer from a related but independent project to review the
Bugzilla discussion to form a less prejudiced on view on whether the
WONTFIX is justified.

Eclipse isn't unique that way.

My point is that user experience is so important to our success, we
need to be sensitive to the issues our users are facing. There are a
lot of such issues marked WONTFIX, and CDT is as guilty of that as
anyone. I'm just wondering how we fix it.

Doug.
