There are many scripts used by ATs that parse title field. One could argue: "Fix your damn scripts" but in the end it's your "bugspam" vs predicting all possible ways someone could express an atom. I seriously doubt that people are changing bug reports cause they break their sense of aesthetics (/me waves to all OCDs out there). Most of the changes have some underlying technical reason. Even if it's whitespace, '=' or ordering. Cheers, Kacper
