C.f. my other mail - Such cases happen.

Another scenario I haven't mentioned yet is packaging bugs.

One day, a packager fixes one, 4 days later he (or a tester) notices 
another one, fixes it, 6 days later the next one is being fixed, ... ad 
infinitum.

Now take dependency chains into account ...
