I am a C/C++ coder and would love to be brought up to speed with what is required to be able fix bugs and problems in new releases for the hardware I posse. It seems things do get broken or left behind all too often. The nice IBM PowerPC based RAID cards in my older Fujitsu-Siemens 970's worked to FC9 then stopped and started working again in F14. Something to do with kudzu and hardware probing, but I never found out why in the end which was frustrating.

That always helps, but let's not kid ourselves that even all comprehensively documented graphics bugs are fixed. There just aren't the developers to fix them all, and 'likely prevalence of hardware in the real world' is one of the factors the devs use in prioritising bugs for fixing, which means bugs for extremely ancient hardware tend to go down the queue a bit. It's not that they never get fixed, but...

Even though I own mostly old hardware, I do agree with needing to prioritize on the hardware that is most in use.
