Going to counter this one.

I look at bugs.  I know David look(s/ed) at bugs.  We just can't get to all of
them.  This echos your point about community, but I didn't want you to get away
with saying that nobody is trying.

LiveCDs are pretty useless because demand for them is non-existent.  So yes, it
is broken and I don't think it works even after some of the recent fixes I sent
to livecd-tools.  So yeah, no one cares on that.  I know I don't, mostly
because I'm actually busy with the other stuff.

I file bugs on graphics drivers regularly.  I know Dave A has been pretty great
about helping me get him info to fix the Radeon stuff.  I have a bug opened
against nouveau right now as well and Ben has been helpful there too (need to
get back to that.)  If you mean some other driver, then yeah maybe.  I can only
test/file bugs on hardware I have.

s/no/a small.  Pretending we don't exist isn't exactly kind, but I will admit
the few of us that participate are limited in time and resources.
