If it's in the OS, yes. Otherwise, we could just tell people to throw
away the 24 karat solid bug called NT, and save lots of effort. ;-)
It really depends on the bug, and whether it's likely to go away. For
example, libX11 regularly assumes that you will not pass illegal
parameters to functions where what's "legal" is nowhere documented.
This is not going to go away.
If we know how to work around one of those and don't, it's our bug.
