If the developers were out monitoring every bug-reporting list in the 
universe (such as ITK), there probably wouldn't be any support. To 
answer your question: yes you should post it to the CMake bug reporting 
tool if you want the CMake people to know about it.

If the bug is that mission critical to you, there is always the option 
of downloading the source, fixing the bug, and submitting a patch to the 
CMake developers.

Otherwise - I'd love to know what significantly-cross-platform open 
source projects you've been working on where bug fixes have such a rapid 
turnaround. I've seen fairly critical bug tickets for Ubuntu, GDM, 
Firefox, Thunderbird, OpenOffice and GCC for years. MySQL has had 
several fatal crash bugs open for 2+ years, and their response to a 
major bug introduced by Prepared Statements was, after a year of people 
complaining about it, to remove the default auto-connection behavior to 
"sort of make it go away".

Thus far, I've gotten better support out of the CMake developers than I 
have from several commercial software providers, including Intel.
