People really need to start finding other examples.  This single
Perl example is getting old.

The issue was not raised through ordinary support channels.  Instead
it was sent directly to Bugzilla, languished there for a month
(because Bugzilla is not the proper support channel, as anyone who has
Red Hat support would know), and then was fixed when it was raised by
a customer through the correct support channels.  In fact it was
released as a hotfix.

I think by "more broken Perls" you mean "one broken Perl".
