This sounds about right to me. If the fix doesn't affect any normal
users, there's no huge reason to try to expedite it.

It's always a judgement call, obviously. So it's not like there's "one
correct thing".

I just do want people to *make* that judgement, not just some mindless
"it's a fix" without any judgement on importance or possible risks...
