I have been working for famous companies and yes having a bug tracking system was required and compled with the source management system. If your company is responsible, they want to have no bug in the system they distribute. At a macroeconomic level, I bet if Intel sell more P4 for mobile devices because linux runs on them, yes they want to have a good ACPI system and a bug tracking system will help achieving this goal. -- __ / ` Eric Valette /-- __ o _. 6 rue Paul Le Flem (___, / (_(_(__ 35740 Pace Tel: +33 (0)2 99 85 26 76 Fax: +33 (0)2 99 85 26 76 E-mail: valette-GANU6spQydw@public.gmane.org ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf
