Thanks to Jef for this work, the results and his comparison of some bugs
to systemd CVEs is quite interesting.

Your point is taken.  I think no matter what decision we make here,
there will always be some bugs that fall on either side of the "to CVE
or not to CVE" line that we could choose to quibble about in hindsight.

Perhaps.  I think the point has been made, however, so spending more
time on this might not really add anything new to the discussion.  What
we really care about is the current quality of the code and the
probability of issues in the future, after all, not so much what's in
the past.
