There also may be some other reasons for all the new Arch users. ;-)

If I would find that the Arch community and the Arch developers are
generally unfriendly, arrogant or ignorant, I just would wipe my hard
disk and install a different distro.

I've also written, that in my cases I had the impression that the early
bug closing was arrogant and ignorant. This was of course a
misunderstanding as I know in the meantime.

I know, I repeat myself - I opened this thread to express my
impressions I had regarding these certain bug reports and in the hope
that the devs think about this and won't close bugs too early in the
future, and that probably can be discussed some ways how to reduce such
misunderstandings and to improve the user/dev communication.

Of course the users shouldn't write such "me, too" comments if they
don't provide additional informations which help fixing the bug.

And I think this thread became a quite substantial discussion with some
pretty good arguments and suggestions.
