The distinction is pointless when you care about writing code that gives the right answer. What are you going to do - write Julia code without using the standard library?

It's obviously not pointless, as bugs in the library are easier to correct

Not particularly. Unless the bug is in some complicated compiler inference code, the Julia stdlib is just like any other Julia package. If you can fix it in a library, you can fix it in Base Julia.

it's not pointless when you look into the future:

julia having bugs is very different from other languages being fundamentally conceptually flawed (like perl ruby c?)...

some of those bugs were already fixed
