I had something similar; my boss asked IBM if he could quote them that they weren't interested in fixing bugs until they caused an outage or a security breach; they told him they'd rather fix it ;-)
However, the last time that I reported a security breach, they didn't ask whether it had caused a problem; they created an APAR and built a corrective PTF. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)
