Comment on SVG Chromium bug is more than 10 years oldparent

I get the frustration but on the other hand there’s an expectation here that the software must be absolutely bug free and I just don’t see that ever happening.

To look at the metric another way: 10 years, 120 months. 95 comments (including all kinds of automated comments). So less than one a month, among a small group of people. Fixing the bug is clearly not just a one-line thing and requires a ton of effort (including the loading of external resources, which always requires security consideration), which doesn't bode well when compared with the size of audience clamouring for it.

The reality is that it just isn’t that important.
