Sorry, should have been more clear. BZ's are used by engineering for bug
tracking. Sometimes those bugs are filed as a result of a community
member filing them (and thank you for doing so), others are filed by
internal Red Hat folks. In neither case is there an SLA *on the bug*

There is no SLA *on the bug* - the ticket may have an SLA guaranteed,
but the resulting BZ does not. Do you see the difference?

Not the case at all! I don't have access to any metrics (I'm in an
airport restaurant right now), but we fix a LOT of BZs filed by
non-paying community members!
To be sure, BZs are prioritized, and customer business-impacting
problems attached to support tickets with SLAs are going to take higher
priority than low-impact BZs where there is a small impact and/or an
easy workaround. I think that's reasonable - if you have an outage
that's affecting your ability to run your company, I think you'd want
our engineers focusing on that. I think you'd want a BZ which is
reporting an annoyance or a low-impact issue to take the back seat.

Not a bad idea, although certainly not a requirement. Because Fedora is
so fast moving, it may be that bugs would be easier to squash there.
The bottom line is, if you have an outage which is affecting your
business, BZ is not the best place to ask for help. Open a ticket with
our support folks so there is a real SLA around it.
Make sense?
Please let me know if I can answer any other questions!
