As a plugin author, I find legit issues related to incompatibilities with other 
plugins. However, I do need to know what other plugins are installed. Even 
better if you (end-user) are able to determine which plugin is incompatible 
with mine, it's even better. 
First because this will permit me to quickly converge to a solution. But also 
this will permit me to make sure: either this won't happen again, or this will 
permit me to add a few words on the subject in my plugin documentation.

However, if the issue is related to `:map-<unique>`, well I'd rather see my 
end-users aware able to solve this by themselves, but yet I know that sometimes 
I need to explain them what they can do.

What you need to see, is that most of us expect you to investigate by yourself 
what causes the issue, or what scenario permits to reproduce it. In other 
words, it's your job to determine the Minimum Working Example. From there if 
you're able to say "setting xxx" or "installing yyy" cause incompatibilities, 
well you'll have done a good job. One from which we could work efficiently on 
your issue. 
Of course, the issue could be completely unrelated to other plugins... That's 
where the exact scenario that permits to reproduce the issue is important.
