These regressions bugs that you track here, are they defined by personal interest?
What about there:

Factors include:
* My judgement of severity
* My judgement of how many people are affected
* How quickly the regression was recognized
* Votes per day
* Whether the bug affects me
Most of the regressions with at least one vote date back to August (with the introduction of the new password manager) or earlier.

Thanks again for providing a useful service.

There’s still – some people are never happy :-) – http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=211023 . But the target is not 0.8 0.9 0.10 0.11, only 1.0 ! Sigh. Of course I can very well live with it.

I can wait, even if I think that the 0.10 and 0.11 releases are not needed. I’ll be very happy when I’ll be able to download 1.0 !!!

What do you mean by “the 0.10 and 0.11 releases are not needed”? Should there be a half-year gap between 0.9 and 1.0 for no reason other than to make the version numbers pretty? Or do you think most of the features listed under 0.10 on http://www.mozilla.org/projects/firebird/roadmap.html are unnecessary for Firebird to be “1.0”?
