Maybe, but I suspect that's a distinction most users won't care quite so
much about.  Developers might, not sure.  But like seb128, I'd love a
way to flag bug reports where someone has identified potential solutions
or a patch exists somewhere in the wide world, as this usually makes it
quite straightforward to then package it up and roll out an official
fix.
