Of course. But your comment has very little to do with me calling out the misrepresentation.

The description made it sound like the full list was patches fixed real bugs resulting from all the boring work, when in fact most of the patches /are/ just the boring work. Only a fraction of the patches fix real bugs. It is far more interesting to see the fruition of the boring work, rather than the work itself.

I fundamentally disagree with this as well as the notion that there was any misrepresentation. It is great to see all the work being done.
