We don't fix non-security/dataloss bugs in stable releases, that's why they are
called "stable". That might seem to be unfortunate, but we cannot afford to
destabilize releases by fixing bugs in them and opening others.

This is not a false assumption, it is true. I didn't say that this was wrong, I
said that the bug does not affect the majority of installations and does not
make printer administration impossible (otherwise we would have noticed it way
earlier).
