All good points. Those are problems that need to be addressed.

Orthogonal to that, there are currently packages that (like
openoffice.org) have a lot of bugs of various ages. Triage seems to be
a good approach to deal with those bugs, and fixes to the problems you
point out will not address those existing old bugs. So complaints
about triage of old bugs seems petulant.
