Well, fixing this kind of bugs is always important. Unfortunately, it takes time: in some cases, progresses are made in an astonishingly slow way. Hence you could consider taking a vacation from your bug hunting when the release gets nearer and then starting over again after etch is out (or otherwise etch won't be out, ever!) ;p -- But it is also tradition that times *must* and always do change, my friend. -- from _Coming to America_ .....................................................
