With regards to whether a blanket ban has a payoff

Why would the difference matter? A bug report is valid or it isn't.

  • A lot of bug reports aren’t valid, or handle a case that can’t realistically happen or realistically be handled (eg what do you do if you detect a crash while the prior crash is crashing and the logging pipe is throwing errors)

    • Sure but this is true regardless of the model. Either it found a bug or it didn't—who cares about the intermediary steps or tools used so long as the reporter can reproduce it?
