True, and I don't think anybody would expect any more. But #3. is still a bug and unless it's been at least tried to be reproduced is no good behaviour to close it just "because I've not the time and I prefer focusing on #1 and #2". I'm not telling this is the case for this bug since I really don't know it but as a general matter, but *if* that were the case, no, I don't think sweeping bugs under the carpet is a proper policy.
