it's going down; 750-ish for the last few releases

but kernel bugzilla is "only" a last resort, while fedora bugzilla is a first point of contact. I'd rate a kernel.org bugzilla bug to be 3x a fedora bz bug in terms of value (eg less dupes, it's not support requests but actual bugs etc etc).

Oopses and places where the kernel goes WARN_ON(). (the oops:warning ratio is roughly 1:2 to 1:3)
