Yeah, I don't think we can make a fixed and formal threshold.
I started this thread primarily to get a feel for if my line of reasoning
matches what everyone else thinks. I now think we all mostly agree, even if we

line in the sand a particular bug should end up on.
Thank you everyone for your valuable feedback and thoughts!
