I will note that from my own experience, I have found a lot of older
bugs because new code that was added triggers the easier. Or I will
find old bugs while debugging a bug that was introduced in the last
merge window.

Why should this bug that I found and fixed be treated differently than
a bug that was introduced in the merge window. A lot of times, these
older bugs become "crap, this is bad, I need to get this to stable
ASAP" too.
