Sure, beautiful bug reports are nice, but if people are suffering burnout over editing the line it this doesn't seem like the biggest value-add to me. By all means have a standard. But, don't discourage but reporters by asking them to rework reports if they don't conform, and don't discourage maintainers or bug wranglers by yelling at them if they don't clean these up. People can of course can still make things as pretty as they want to. The only reason I could see for rigid adherence to a standard is if we're using the field as input to some kind of program, and if we're doing that then the data should really be broken down into appropriate fields like atom, desc, etc. So, have a best practice, but let's not get carried away with this sort of thing to the point where people feel like it is getting in the way. -- Rich
