I often reject bug-fixes. Bug-fixes are _often_ worse than the bug they fix, even with serious bugs. Because a lot of bug-fixes are “band-aid” - not fixing the bug properly. And band-aid is BAD. It’s worse than even a crashing machine. Because band-aid never goes away, and nobody cleans it up. I prefer to have a known bug that will eventually get fixed than an ugly solution that will hide it forever….Being a maintainer means saying no to crap.
