It is a not a bugfix, and you know it :(

If you are not acting on bad faith, I suggest you read Wittgensen

He has made a lot of work around the idea of language, which basically boil down to the fact that words have no intrinsic meaning : the meaning of a word is the meaning that a given population gives to that word

So in your case, you may be right about the meaning of the word "bugfix" in some population, but you must translate and use the meaning of that word in the "kernel" population

The dictionary is a lie .. :)

Yeah, how are these two things bug-fixes? Especially the first one should not be merged late.

I think you mean Wittgenstein, though I wouldn’t recommend Philosophical Investigations as an entrypoint.
