I meant the thousands of bugs relevant to this discussion... filed as rawhide 
during an EOL release development cycle.  I'm suggesting that although in a 
perfect world a content parser would know how to deal with the bug (which you 
keep suggesting should have been used) its just not available.  A heuristic had 
to be applied, the triagers applied one in a best effort plan to correct the 
problem that was being created over a few years.  I'm leaving it to you to 
suggest an actual method of picking bug tickets by contents which is 
implementable without manual human interaction on every single one of them.
