> but a bug not being exploitable is still a bug that needs to be fixed.

Do you? Not every bug needs to be fixed. I've never see a data race bug in documented behaviour make it past initial development.

I have seen data races in undocumented behaviour in production, but as it isn't documented, your program doesn't have to do that! It doesn't matter if it fails. It wasn't a concern of your program in the first place.

That is still a problem if an attacker uses undocumented behaviour to find an exploit, but when it is benign... Oh well. Who cares?
