[rhelv6-list] Restricting bugzillas

[Musayev, Ilya]

Ges,

I'm with you. But RedHat pays people to do QA and Dev in order to address the bug. Once RedHat makes a release, all free loaders jump in and copy and paste their code (minus RedHat TM). I do support the latest move of RHEL6 source code release changes - it makes it harder (though not by much) for oracle to rip and integrate, I don't see how hiding the bugz in bugzilla benefits RedHat.

In my opinion, even closing the KB by Red Hat, I mean you need to login to access the articles, was and is not good. If not open source, Linux and GNU, probably there would not be Red Hat today. Saying that they created Fedora to give something back to community would not be "politically" correct too, I think. Without community and open source there would not be Fedora too.
I think they should try to make it even more open rather that closing it further.
More knowledge you can get about the product, more likely you would go for it, I think. If there is a bug, someone will find it anyway sooner or later, so I think it is better to say "yes, we know and we work on it" and even "maybe you can even help us to fix it quicker" rather than pretend that "we did not know" when competition fixes that already.
