No, send-pr reported bugs will go to a core member who often fixes
things quite fast. If you send a bugfix with it, it is faster of
course. Then you don't need to wait till the next release: Via cvsup
everyone has read access to the CVS repository that contains all
FreeBSD sources (of kernel and all libraries, programs etc.). You
can update via cvsup from time to time.

It is. Almost all of FreeBSD compiles without any warnings when using
-Wall. What ugly bugs are you talking about?
