No, no, no!!!!!

Please, can we not tell people to dogpile onto bug #197762?

That bug is so dogpiled as to be useless.

We need to have separate bugs for separate performance problems, instead
of assuming that all reported performance problems with USB drives
should be directed to a bug that multiple people have been trying to
shut down as "there's no intelligent life here, Scotty", which was
opened over two years ago, and for which there are at least three
separate and distinct problems, and probably more, all horribly mixed
together.

Can someone official in Ubuntu step up and say whether or not this
horrible practice should be continued?

I'm seriously thinking about writing a blog entry, "Why Launchpad is
terminally broken, and why all upstream devs should ignore it as a waste
of their time", and pointing to #197762, and misguided attempts to get
people to dogpile onto this misbegotten bug, as a exhibit number #1 as
to why kernel developers are ignoring Launchpad and why it is more of a
menance than a help to upstream developers.   If canonical isn't
providing upstream development assistance, and they're not providing
enough talented people to do bug triage, and they are claiming that the
value they are bringing to upstream projects is lots of users and lots
of bug reports, this is a prime example of why This Isn't Working For
Us.
