Oh, of course! when I mentioned "so users can confirm"... I meant "affected users" not just any user.
I mean having a BUG ID (or URL to it) present in user forums, so that affected users could go and check details, work-arounds, required diagnostics info, etc etc - could make the process much easier. Add more context info, confirm behaviour, etc
And I write this merely as a suggestion... no reason potential innovations can't be considered no ?
