I think they very likely have a tough job to do (I'm assuming you're
talking about developers, not users). The "Ubuntu People" have to deal
with a disproportionate amount of bugs that are not bugs from a
population of people who do not RTFM whatsoever, so they are probably
backlogged. As for users not reporting bugs, it's somewhat tough to
decide whether a bug is a Ubuntu bug or not. I have bad USB problems
with kernel 2.6.20, for example -- I'm really not sure WHO is
responsible for that problem, and I guess the only way to find out is
build a vanilla kernel that's compiled the way they have it.
