It's not a bug by definition of what contracts are. A contract can't have a bug because the implementation IS the specification. That is the whole point of the system. Even the DAO website says so itself. The code itself has the ultimate say:

> Any and all explanatory terms or descriptions are merely offered for educational purposes and do not supercede or modify the express terms of The DAO’s code set forth on the blockchain; to the extent you believe there to be any conflict or discrepancy between the descriptions offered here and the functionality of The DAO’s code at 0xbb9bc244d798123fde783fcc1c72d3bb8c189413, The DAO’s code controls and sets forth all terms of The DAO Creation.

Nobody should have entered this contract if they disagree with the above. Yet now, suddenly most people who are a part of it seem to disagree with it!
