Not every bug can get fixed. It's impossible. Even if you know about them.
There's just too many. I don't know what kind of bugs these are, but it's often
the case that bugs are prioritized into must fix, should fix, would be nice to
fix, cosmetic/minor inconvenience. Since it takes just as much time on average
to fix a major bug as it does a minor bug, the biggies get fixed first.
