Sure, but there's just too many good reasons for not fixing something
ranging from "If I fix this it'll break that" to "I can't reproduce this
and am not sure this is a real problem, but I can't disprove it either",
to "I just got married, debian can wait for a week" to "I'm not going
to be able to do much on my packages till I get out of the hospital" to
"I didn't see that bug last time I checked, and I don't understand why
my packages have been orphaned, as far as I know I've been receiving
email successfully every day for the last year," ...
