Well, that's not only the age, is the *critical* level and the fact that
there is a *patch* which makes it really outrageous! As I said before it
does make sense to fix older bugs first if they have the same importance
and patch availability...

I totally agree about this. Bugs with *patches* shouldn't be ignored,
EVER. At least there should be feedback about why they are not being
applied, if they never will should be closed as WONTFIX and if they need
more work that should be told sooner than later, so people can improve
the quality of their patches.
