My personal opinion, if its a security bug, data corrupter, or something
important that doesn't work, I'd say go ahead and patch it. There's nothing
to prevent you from filing the bug yourself and then fixing it. A lot of
people here in Red Hat do just that if its something that can't be done right
away, is important, or needs to be part of an errata.
