Well, it exposes it to a wider area of users, and lets me know if the
problem is widespread or not.  So information was gained, even if it's
only by a lack of data.

I also note, you didn't answer my question -- If I don't know what broke
it, how can it be reliably reported?  Doesn't it become more of a crank at
that point, rather than a confirmed bug?
