I get what you're saying, though there is still a cost to leaving the |
| 7 |
bug open to years. In this case it means an old package stays in the |
| 8 |
tree marked as stable. That either costs maintainers the effort to |
| 9 |
keep it work, or they don't bother to keep in working in which case |
| 10 |
users get saddled with issues. |

I am completely in support of making use of the priority field - if |
| 13 |
something is causing issues by all means call attention to it. I bet |
| 14 |
it would /help/ with the problem, but it won't make it go away. |
