Regarding information, I agree. I fully disagree regarding bug reports. Making bug reports shouldn't be extraordinarily hard, but users should think before doing them, so making it to easy is bad. E.g. one should first at least make a few attempts to a) check if this was already fixed (e.g. you can actually search the bug tracker and maybe you'll find the bug to be already reported, fixed and hence closed). And b) we require you to have a valid SF ID first, because it means we are guranteed bug reporters are reachable by email. Bug reports are often utterly incomplete, and we have to ask back if we want to have chance to fix 'em.
