Which is no indication that the same did not happen in 2.8 as well but
was unnoticed.
But it also means that we still have room for improvement, lucky us :)

It certainly was one factor for me but in the end it's a mixed bag of

- priority

- quality of issue report
    If there's no steps for how to reproduce it (in a reasonable time
    and with data in reach) I'll stop right there

- expected chance of success
    Better to spend the time fixing 3 non-critical ones than not fixing
    a critical one

- expected time to fix
    Better to spend a day fixing 6 non-critical ones in a day than 1
    critical ones in two days

- knowledge of the codebase
    if I know that some other dev might be better suited for something,
    I'll probably leave it to him

- knowledge of certain problems
    if I am experiencing a problem during bugfixing, it's in front of
    nose and I will fix it. The next time I might need 2 hours to
    reproduce the bug. Also knowing that something is a problem for me
    or someone I know makes it rise up my priority list.
