Of course we can always spend more time fixing bugs, but don't think
this number is really representative of real errors...

Many reports are typical support issues rather then errors in code we
can necessarily handle on our side. [0]

I've been spending more time on the tracker past 2 weeks, & went over
tracker today setting TODO's, closing/fixing.

Now we're down to 136, (126 excluding 'Incomplete' reports).

As long as we fix regressions, I don't think another week for fixing
is needed, its even risky when we have to make big changes for long
standing bugs right before release [1]
