That's just a side effect of the fact that we started testing and
collecting crashes before we had all infrastructure to pipe bugs to
kernel mailing lists. So we ended up with a bug jam and now trying to
drain it. Some of the old bugs indeed ended up being fixed meanwhile.
But we reported the ones that are still relevant. Once we drain the
jam, we will start reporting fresh bugs. We are always testing the
latest revisions.
