I'd also like to point out that if the approach is being taken on the
assumption that on technically advanced people write good reports, then
I'd like to point out that
a) There are plenty of technically advanced people who really suck at
writing good bug reports
b) There are a goodly number of noobs who given the right
prompts/prompting can give better bug reports than even many technically
advanced users who aren't in a).
c) There are going to be bad bug reports no matter how badly you try to
avoid it
d) Making it hard to report bugs means that bugs don't get reported,
even in cases where all you needed to fix the bug was to know it existed.
Regards,
Daniel
