A developer fixed a bug?   Oh my lord.   Fixing bugs is what developers do.

Regarding the current fuss, what is so special about this commit?

It is easy to look back with 20/20 vision and realize it was a bad
bug.  Yet every bad bug does not get errata, or we would get no
development done, and would spend all our time writing up errata.a

This project -- with it's limited manpower -- is going to remain
deeply inconsistant at (a) realizing the impact of a bug fix and (b)
making an errata available.

Those who have been following the project for years know that this is
nothing new and it will not change.

People keep trying to hold us to standards they don't apply to
themselves, and that is just so laughable.

Dev doesn't worry about exploitability or severity or whatever...just fix
the bug
and move on.

That's a feature, not a...well, you get the point.
