It's a simple flow problem.  You might be fixing 15 bugs with each
release, but if you consider that 30 new bugs are added to the
bugzilla each month, you will never fix them all, or even come close.

It's not that it's your fault, either.  You have a limited amount of
time.  So how about starting to incorporate the numerous patches
people have added to the bugzilla?  It's not like the DMDFE can get
any _worse_.
