You have a point, but as we both probably worked in the professional software industry, you know that a posting on a mailing lists means nothing to managers.

It depends on the list and the manager. I frequent a mailing list for our product that was started by one of our customers. Our customers get direct feedback from me, an actual developer who makes design decisions. They love it, and so do I. If I were on the Xcode team, I'd have one person devoted to watching this list and interact with the users of their product. It makes the user feel like someone cares, ya know?


However, I know that even if your bug gets a "duplicate", that number is indeed counted and gives the issue more weight. That way, engineers can (and I assume, like in most organizations, even Apple engineers have to) justify that they are spending their time with a "cosmetic display issue".

A display issue that they broke months ago and that affects screen readability. This isn't a simple pixel that's too dark in the Apple logo.
