You are right but you are wrong.  NeXT get to choose if it is a bug or  
not, so the smart but cheap developer won't bother to attempt to report  
them.  Secondly, there is still a bug report email alias at NeXT, so you  
could use that: I would imagine that NeXT don't yet charge to receive  
email.
