What are essential bug fixes?

Any changes necessary to keep existing Instant Answers functioning correctly and as expected. For example:

• Updating the URL for a Spice Instant Answer when the API changes
• Correcting a Perl or JavaScript logic error
• Fixing CSS that's causing the display to break

Any other changes will not be accepted. For example:

• spelling/comment changes
• unsolicited improvements, changes, and code refactoring
