Certainly. But then it's probably something that hits many, which means 
you would probably detect them not too late, and be able to fix them 
before the deadline.

For my own part, I see fixing bugs as my top thing in general. Or 
rather, "what would a normal Ubuntu user want?" which is, quite often, 
to have bugs fixed :-) ...and occasionally, new features (e g the jack 
detection stuff).

That, or if it has something to do with machines Canonical wants to 
certify, that makes it float to the top of my priority list.

Good :-) I just wanted to make sure I'm not pushing people to somewhere 
where they feel bad or bored. It is easy to forget that perspective at 
times.
