R. David Murray added the comment:

"Code smell" and "Easily fixable on their side" are not an arguments that apply 
here.  We have a strong backward compatibility policy that strives not to break 
working code in bug fix releases.  And yes, this means that there are sometimes 
bugs that we only fix in feature releases.
