[snipped rest of comments]
I agree with your comments including the snipped ones, but
markspace's statement of "Low - Noise. These bugs will not be fixed
or forwarded." is not acceptable either.
I grant that low-priority bugs may normally not be looked at
unless they are obvious, but personally, if it is not too much
trouble, when I am working in the area, I will go after such bugs.
Ordinarily, I do not bother.
It is like picking up an extra item at the store since you were
there anyway. You would not make a special trip for it, but since you
are there, you get it.
