It's certainly a manpower issue, we can't solve all the problems. 
Another issue however is communication.  Could your developers get the
knowledge of their dissatisfaction to DC?  Keep in mind this is a two
way issue, you have to work and we have to work for effective
communication.

This list is just out of control, and it's really your only conduit to
us.  I think Patrick is right about needing a Bug Wiki.  We should try
it, the only problem I can think of there being over crowding on the
front page, because everyone thinks their problem is of the highest
priority.

Simple Rule, no bug reports on FrontPage, perhaps, Categories?
