We can argue about what words to use to describe this situation, but
it doesn't change the situation itself.

And we should argue about those words because it matters to humans and
effects how they feel, and humans ultimately fix these bugs.

So please stop with the hyperbole.

Thank you.

Okay, there are 151 bugs that syzbot saw on the mainline Linux kernel in the
last 7 days (90.1% with reproducers).  Of those, 59 were reported over 3 months
ago (89.8% with reproducers).  Of those, 12 were reported over a year ago (83.3%
with reproducers).

No opinion on whether those are small/medium/large numbers, in case it would
hurt someone's feelings.

These numbers do *not* include bugs that are still valid but weren't seen on
mainline in last 7 days, e.g.:

- Bugs that are seen only rarely, so by chance weren't seen in last 7 days.
- Bugs only in linux-next and/or subsystem branches.
- Bugs that were seen in mainline more than 7 days ago, and then only on
  linux-next or subsystem branch in last 7 days.
- Bugs that stopped being seen due to a change in syzkaller.
- Bugs that stopped being seen due to a change in kernel config.
- Bugs that stopped being seen due to other environment changes such as kernel
  command line parameters.
- Bugs that stopped being seen due to a kernel change that hid the bug but
  didn't actually fix it, i.e. still reachable in other ways.
