Why Did the WordPress Sitemap Bug Happen?

As part of the development cycle, WordPress offers early release versions that the WordPress community downloads and tests.

It’s during this process that unanticipated bugs are discovered, noted, and assigned a severity level and a date for a patch to fix the issue.

Software bugs can happen when an unanticipated event, like a specific form of permalink structure, happens which then triggers the unexpected behavior.
