Cascade of Attention-Deficit Teenagers (CADT)

This is, I think, the most common way for my bug reports to open source software projects to ever become closed. I report bugs; they go unread for a year, sometimes two; and then (surprise!) that module is rewritten from scratch – and the new maintainer can’t be bothered to check whether his new version has actually solved any of the known problems that existed in the previous version.

I’m so totally impressed at this Way New Development Paradigm. - jwz
