What?s the point of doing this with Fedora?  It?s not like bugs
were fixed before Fedora is EOL and all reports are forgotten.

Now Fedora goes Gentoo, which I moved away from because of exactly
what Fedora finally goes for.

Many bugs are fixed in Fedora. Many more bugs are fixed in the
upstreams. Please remember that Fedora is primarily an *integration*
project, and the best way to get bugs fixed is for the developers of
the code in question to be involved. Many Fedora maintainers help
facilitate this for users, which is awesome, but the sheer number of
bugs exceeds what even our large contributor community can address.

I know it sucks when an issue that affects you doesn't get fixed in a
timely manner, but we really do appreciate reports and it's helpful if
you can retest and reopen EOL bugs if they do indeed still happen in
the newer version.

Of course, if you _really_ need something fixed and want someone on the
hook to do it for you, I suggest Red Hat's commercial offering.

This is nothing like Gentoo.
