Random info without solid tags is very difficult to deal with. Bugs come and go and carefully phrasing a query is hard. I can't count the number of time I have issued a search on Drupal looking for a solution to something I think is a bug. What turns up is frequently a bug in a current release and what appears to be the very same bug in a very old release like 4.7. Far too many of the search results have no info about to which release they apply.
In a similar vein, looking at an issue queue for a particular module I find what appears to be a solution for my bug and it even notes that it has been committed, but not to what release it was committed, usually to some -dev release but it is not obvious when one of the many -dev gets into a real point release. I strongly prefer dealing with only point releases for production sites.
