I'm not sure what the right answer is. But where resources are limited, good bug reports make the difference between things actually getting fixed, or not. A bad bug report can even be *counterproductive* because others might just see that it's already reported, and not bother to engage... despite the fact that the existing bug report isn't going to help get the problem fixed. So if someone says that only good bug reports are going to get handled.... is that "technical elitism"? Or is it purely self- awareness, and the team being aware of its own limitations and trying to set expectations accordingly? To *assume* that it's some kind of technical elitism seems a little wrong, to me. -- dwmw2
