To <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Bug%20importances>, I would suggest 
adding a new criteria under the critical importance (or something like 
this):

  "It simplifies software contents, bug fixing or development"

So, although not doing this apparently hasn't got any critical 
consequences, it already eliminates the main sources of waste.

That is excess of inventories: dozens of bugs already fixed in upgrades 
that are asked to be performed, generally in special types of bugs 
(<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Bug%20triage#Special_types_of_bugs>)

In fact, eliminating excess of inventory first is a general accepted 
recommendation in many productivity philosophies:

  - Just in Time 
(<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just_in_time_%28business%29>)
  - 5S (<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5S_%28methodology%29#1._Seiri>)
  - Lean Six Sigma (<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lean_six_sigma>)
  - The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People 
(<http://hdbizblog.com/blog/2008/04/28/sharpen-the-saw-the-7th-habit-of-highly-effective-people/>)

The amount of bugs of this kind are a few and working on them first can 
save lot of time in the medium term, while also making the fixing of 
critical bugs more speedy.

So, what do you think?
