I'm curious to know how many bugs that have been reported over at launchpad actually get fixed. I'm talking about medium/high level ones....not just critical "oh my god my computer caught fire because of Ubuntu" ones. I'm also not talking about obscure bugs that you have to do 50 steps to replicate.

I'm asking (in case you're wondering) because it seems like there is a sea of bugs on launchpad that all seem legitimate but stay in "New" limbo forever or never get fixed at all. I've had 3 problems with Ubuntu so far that are show-stoppers for me, yet I can't believe they haven't been fixed this far down the line (I'll probably be posting about them here soon enough)

I should ask an additional question: are releases more feature-orientated whereas updates are more bug-fix orientated?
