Just for my curiosity I looked at recent RC bugs... Well,
#125660 (bison), #129637 (directfb0), #129605 (mutt) seem absolutely trivial,
and #129696 (epic4) is erroneously tagged as grave.
Moreover the new sudo release has been published today, the bug has been opened
after a few moments...
Well, if the same things apply to other RC bugs, we can think that
the _real_ bugs are no more than an half or less of those reported on BTS.
