Bugzilla sucks less, Mono still rocks

A couple of years ago I filed a Mono bug and it was fixed the next day.

I had the same experience a last week.

I filed the bug on April 29th at 23:18 and by April 30th at 7:07 am the bug was fixed in SVN and the case closed! I even filed the bug under the wrong topic and didn’t have very good helpful information in my bug report.

The patch solved the problem and now you can use SqlDataProvider with something other than SqlClient data source. Tests with Npgsql work great. My bugzilla experience this time around was smoother than I remember from two years ago.

Thanks mono team. 8hr turn around time is AMAZING!
