Means that the people using it (incl. me) never hit those edge-cases.
Seldom is there time to go poking around the code of things that
appear to be working as-expected 100% of the time. That=E2=80=99s all.

In the case of this particular bug, I hadn=E2=80=99t noticed it. And I =
use grdc
all the time. What can we say? code gets better over time with more
eyeballs (and sometimes the old eyeballs stop scrutinizing, so it=E2=80=99=
s
often good to also have young eyeballs take a look at things).

I don=E2=80=99t think this situation is a call for deprecating anything.
