However, what would be so bad about requiring that every >= important bug be tagged (either confirmed, forwarded, non-reproducible, moreinfo, or upstream) or simply closed?

That at least indicates some human interaction. Regards, -Roberto -- Roberto C. Sanchez http://people.connexer.com/~roberto http://www.connexer.com
