Its absolutely a great reason to downgrade the bug: If this API had
never OOPsed, this bug would never have been critical.
We use OOPSes to determine when we have to Jump To It and Fix A Major
Problem: it is thus important that that signal is clean, and thats why
oopses are all critical (so that when a real emergency hits we know
about it). This bug is now just a nonfunctional bit of the API, which
never was functional, and isn't muddying that diagnostic signal.
It is something we should do sooner rather than later and that is why
it is High, not Low.
If you want it done sooner, please either escalate it, or submit a patch :)
