So, what is a "real" bugfix? Most things are responses on bug reports by users. Form them it is real.

On the other hand most things we fix these days (especially when looking at 5.3) are really minor things which mostly can easily be worked-around and barely hit anybody (if bugs are reported >5 years after that code was initially released it's barely hit) 

As said in a recent thread for 5.3 I plan to reduce the release amount after February, I don't mind delaying the upcoming releases a bit, I haven't checked commits and bugs which came in during the holiday season, yet.
