ANHOLT: The other thing that the private sector is extremely good at and which is so important in policy is creativity, ingenuity, and innovation.
ANHOLT: See, the problem that America faces, and this is something that I outlined in my book, "Brand America,", is that America has changed since the Second World War from being a distant, exotic, prestige brand to being a very familiar mass-market brand.
ANHOLT: Another point worth making is that generally speaking, the countries that scored well in the Nations Brand Index are the ones that find it easier to stay out of trouble.

Anholt argues that nations which don't understand the nature and value of brands may be dooming their citizens to a perpetual existence at the bottom of the economic totem pole.
Anholt sees trends in food and music purchasing as indicative of an increasing interest in exoticism and authenticity - in other words, the best advantage a brand from Mongolia may have is that it's Mongolian, something a product from a US firm can never be.
Anholt's seems to suggest that social goals should be abondoned in favour of business goals, based on the assumption that a rapidly modernizing economy will raise the aggregate standard of living faster than charitable/social programs will.

Since the number of Linux users steadily increases over time, it stands to reason that the number of people finding and reporting bugs will also increase over time, and so it seems natural that the bug tracker would have a net steady increase in open issues over time as well.
That helped somewhat, but it was realistically a losing battle due to time constraints and the sheer number of bugs.
A year or so later, we hired a second X developer, in order to be able to scale up the number of issues we could resolve in a given time frame.
