Is there a problem?

It is hard to know if kernel bugs are increasing

Little centralized bug tracking
Distributors have their own bug trackers
Many bugs never get into a tracker

No way to know how many users exist
More users = more reports

The kernel is growing
More code means more bugs
But bug density might be falling

Scrutiny is increasing
Automated tools, testing projects

Many reported bugs are quite old
