No. In other words, "If fixing the bug is so important to you
that it must be fixed, then perhaps, you should take the initiative
to learn enough to fix the bug."

Or, in other other words, "Give a man a fish, he eats for a day;
teach a man to fish, he eats for a lifetime."

Finally, as a general user, it is often counter-productive to
include vailed invectives in your emails to a public list.  See
for example: "Poke the FreeBSD developers to start fixing bugs,
maybe (but not very likely) that will help."  Sheesh, as if
FreeBSD developer never fix any bugs.
