> The disagreement is not over whether or not [undefined behavior] is a problem, but rather how serious of a problem. Is it like “Emergency patch – update immediately!” or more like “We fixed a compiler warning” or is it something in between. –Hipp

In this specific case with sqlite it certainly is more of a fixed-compiler-warning. However, you could imagine some undefined behavior in SSL implementation to require emergency-patch level as well. I agree with you that undefined behavior "in most cases should be treated as low priority".
