The Sad State of Logging Bugs for Apple

QA engineers are sometimes instructed to screen bugs with a priority and “fix period” before passing them off to the engineer responsible for the code. From an internal developer’s perspective, it was quite frustrating to take the time to log a detailed bug, only to see it sit “unscreened” for weeks and weeks. External developers do get notified when bugs are fixed, but only after the fix is available in a public release of the OS.
