A "bug" is not necessarily the same as a "on my very custom setup it
doesn't work the way as I would expect". Several people are having
severe dificulties to understand the difference, especially when
they're starting to deal with non-trivial components in their setup.

I don't mean not to do anything about it. But I don't agree with people
crying "bug" on every occasion just because they just don't understand
the implications of what they're doing.
Cheers,
