That is definitely an highly optimistic point of view. I've seen
people here fighting to protect their bugs against fixes by any
means including obviously false arguments or even loss in common
standards of politeness.
Reason seems to be that bugs like any code are considered copyrighted
work and the only way for people to gain credit in an unpaid project is
to see their work included in history. And of course bugs will produce
more feedback by far than something that works flawlessly.
So why should anyone be interested to throw away own work that is so
well suited to get attention of the world as are bugs?
