Not in the least.  When my customers report a bug to me informally I always
have them go back to the trouble desk and enter an official issue.  This
logs that a customer did experience a problem and that our internal QA
process may have a leak.  If I just informally fixed it and slipped it into
the change stream we may have customers suffering damage that nobody knows
about.  If I open an internal issue to get it fixed, it becomes a low
priority item because no customer has complained about it.

Customer complaints get highest priority.

Did I just admit in writing that my code has bugs?  Oops.
