Fedora gets less than 1000 bugs per release (so 6 month window).
That's... peanuts.
(Also remember that distribution bugs have a real percentage of "please
help me" support request bugs, so the actual nr of bugs is quite
lower. The number is also before duplicates are marked).

We are tracking over 3000 bugs per WEEK via other channels.

So yes I will say that distribution bugs, while nice if we get
visibility in the good ones, aren't the end-all thing.
