there is software with no known bugs?

Redhat had more than 100 bugs filed against the "cdrtools" version they ship.
All these bugs could be avoided by upgrading to a recent original version.
Redhat closed these unfixed bugs instead of doing it's homework that would
result in updated versions.
So it seems that redhat doesn't care about bug reports.
