Given the size of Emacs user community, I'd rather expect more bug 
reports, including duplicate, nonsensical, etc, than currently.

In this specific case, I though I'm aware of the current bugs (I'm 
subscribed to gmane.emacs.bugs in Gnus), and I also thought that this 
kind of bug wouldn't stay unfixed for more than a day, much less 5 days 
that went since 13977 was filed. I was wrong on both counts.

Speaking of bug reports, the recent font-lock breakage was similar in 
that it was obvious and stayed unfixed for a while. It just affected a 
bigger audience.
