Additionally, there's packages we have that have 0 bugs actually filed against them, but don't work or have serious problems. So, IMHO all this boils down to 'It depends', 'we should try and improve tools for maintainers' and 'we should try and do the best we can with the tools and processes we have'. I think this post (from 6 years ago now) could be helpful: http://www.rants.org/2010/01/bugs-users-and-tech-debt/ If you don't want to click through (but you should, it's a good read), the author posits two things: You shouldn't be worried that you have more bugs and bugs are not actually technical debt so you shouldn't think of them that way. kevin
