But how do you choose which patches you want to backport from the
stream of bugfixes done by upstream? Should the packager monitor all
bug fixing activity? (sure (s)he *can*, but that's a lot of work)
Just because someone doesn't file a bug against Mageia doesn't mean the
bug doesn't bother anybody, because many users don't report upstream
bugs to the distro's tracker.
(also, other users don't bother reporting bugs at all :-))

Antoine.
