We actually have a constant in our codebase to mark such bugs. You found one? Put it inside an: if (PREFER_EXISTING_BUGS_TO_NEW_ONES) { theOldBehavior();

We actually have a constant in our codebase to mark such bugs. You found one? Put it inside an: if (PREFER_EXISTING_BUGS_TO_NEW_ONES) { theOldBehavior(); } else { theNewBehavior(); } Then, if we ever go to do a v2 of the thing, we can review these existing "load bearing bugs" and see if they make sense to change.
