Triage without followup is worthless, so as far as I
know they are both
components of that job.
Just for the record, this particular issue (en-CA) hasn't gotten a lot
of attention from me because, to be honest, en-CA speakers seem happy
with en-US and en-GB. And, further, the first bar has been crossed.
People with an en-CA preference can make-do with en-US and en-GB.
Are either of those tailored to them exactly? No. But compared with
the situation we see amongst, say, Indic scripts, that sort of
tailoring seems like a non-issue.
But back to the main point. Brion is right: Triage without followup is
worthless. In my experience, Brion has a good feel for this sort of
thing and he's been gracious enough to prod me gently when he sees
something that needs a bit more follow up when I've missed it.
So, if you see that I'm not following something up, feel free to prod
me. Since I dislike prodding, I'll be working hard to avoid it and make
sure that I am following up on the bugs that have a higher priority. If
you think something should have a higher priority, let me know.
Mark.
