Many bug fixes depend on fixing a six year old + bug (421).  However, if 
you feel so strongly, then maybe YOU can take a stab at trying to fix a 
bug.  It is NOT easy (6724 is one bug that I'm working on and it has 
been around for four+ years.)

Also, not all developers are working on fixing and improving DirectX.  
Some are working on code improvements and long overdue code cleanups.
