193 bugs is more substantial; but I'd worry about achievability.
That's over 6 a day, assuming no weekends; days off; BAU or anything
else.

A lower number doesn't mean you can't stop, but I strongly believe
that if you commit to a task it should be measurable and achievable. A
"MUST" task is supposed to take about 60% of your available
task-oriented time, to allow for slippage to push the COULD off.

Cheers,

Andrew
