Right.

Exception handler should just produce correct version info so that
triage can be done.

Nicely organized tracker gives opportunity to non-core devs to help
putting the bugs in proper perspective - you know about bug squashing
days, doing triage etc.

See my reply to James.

If the bug is found in released version which is the ONLY version
supposed to be run in production - otherwise devs cannot give you any
guarantee - then it has to be fixed according to bug's 'natural'
priority assigned in the tracker, i.e. no need for special business
model.
