Maybe I'm just weird, but I see backend fixes and I go "Oh. Hopefully that makes the outstanding bug count go down" and move on. Perhaps because I haven't been plagued by a show-stopper yet, or perhaps because I'm just used to running operating systems and programs that almost constantly update and need updating.

Either way, thank you for explaining this concept in such a way that non-coders and coders alike can grasp intuitively.
