I wasn't ranting. The incoming bug level has required us to implement and enforce some policies with kernel bugs so that it is easier for us to triage and fix them. Those policies can be found here:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeamBugPolicies

Since these policies are new, I make it a point to note them whenever I fix a conflict with them. That way people get educated at the same time (and I avoid make the same fixes over and over).

In general, only the person triaging the bug should mark it confirmed. We have too many bugs getting marked confirmed by people experiencing the bug, when the bug report is in no way confirmed. Confirmed for us means that the bug reports contains all the needed info in order for us to work on it sensibly.

Also, when a bug on t he kernel is marked confirmed, it should have a severity set, and assigned to ubuntu-kernel-team. This way it shows up in our list of "bugs that can be worked on" as opposed to "bugs that still need info". We need this separation in order to make sense of the hundreds of reports we have.

Thanks for the report, and the help in triaging it. Hopefully we can get it resolved.
