Right.

Then there's the oodles of misguided feature requests like (at random): 

http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=6891

which doesn't sound very useful, and is also incompatible with the
current return values, since (string-to-number "0x45" 16) today returns
0, so it should be dismissed instead of letting it linger on.

I wish we could have a Festival of Bug Triage, where each of us (how
many are there?  20?) pledge to close five bug reports per day.  That's
like a thousand in three weeks.  :-)

Then we could use the bug tracker to track bugs.

But, of course, it depends on what the policy for bug closure is...
