If I were a CE user I certainly would not like it if Magnolia never fixed any 
issues brought up by CE users. Of course they'll give issues for EE customers 
priority, but as a CE user you expect some kind of maintenance support on the 
product you're using or you'll go look elsewhere. You're confusing policy with 
reality here. Of course CE users wouldn't be okay with Magnolia ignoring their 
issues, so there is an extra maintenance effort for Magnolia.

By the way, you get the same thing when you deal with other companies. Want to 
keep using Java 6 after Oracle's end of life date and still receive bug fixes? 
You can, but not for free, you'll have to get an extended support contract. 
Does Oracle publicly distribute these bug fixes? Nope. Red Hat has similar 
policies.
