It is to my delight to announce that exactly 250 000 bugs have - as of 19 hours before this post - been reported in Launchpad! Bug #250000 was an Ubuntu bug reported against gnome-terminal. Congratulations (or not?) for achieving this milestone!
Perhaps this is related to UWN reaching 100 issues, Ubuntu-UK podcast reaching 10 shows, and Launchpad being upgraded with huge UI changes :).

Fix the bug link please
Your link is broken
Its http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/250000 … for some reason your link appears to be redirecting to this site :S
Who cares how many bugs have been reported? What’s more important is how many have been fixed. There is at least one bug there where installing updates will cause ubuntu not to boot anymore. It’s been there for a month with no action. This seems typical.
Sorry about that.. not sure what the problem was, but it’s fixed now :).
Lots of people are laughing about the ‘planets’ because of the amount of useless posts made just for the sake of posting (especially on linuxhaters blog’s comments).
Well, it’s your choice….
A lot of bugs reported are invalid. Some can be set as “won’t fix”, ie, it interferes with the design, some bugs are incomplete (reporter didn’t give enough info yet).
That said, a search for “fixed commited” and “fixed released” bugs gives 94,296 bugs - and that’s with “hide duplicate” bugs enabled.
There were also 70,693 bugs that were either “invalid” or “incomplete”.
Lastly, there were 35,280 bugs marked as new. And that’s not nice - they haven’t been “trianged” - ie, figured out what is exactly going on or what is exactly the problem, and the problem has been confirmed to be reproductible (so programmers can fix it). That’s what all of the “bug days” are for, to “triange” those bugs,
By the way, all of this data is accessible via https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/+bugs?advanced=1
Gotta love launchpad for this.
