Partly I just get confused (although patches are frequently discussed on the list) which patches have actually been applied to CVS, and whether any of the *known* issues are still known to be unfixed in CVS. (That is, I'm usually willing to be a tester, but it's generally not useful to anyone to test things that are known to be broken) -Isaac
